| Description of the problem | 2007 jeep commander (purchased used in the fall of 2012): as i was pulling out of a parking lot, the car abruptly sped up, causing me to lose control. I crashed into an utility pole directly across from the parking lot exit as a result. The car is now totaled and the utility pole was damaged (leaning over). I traveled approximately 26 feet, at a speed high enough to create that amount of damage. As someone who has driven professionally for many years, this was unnerving and unusual. Also, around 3 months ago the same situation happened while driving down the road. I was following a car going 45 mph, and my commander suddenly sped up, causing me to apply the brake to slow down. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but now i am wondering if there is/was a problem with the vehicle. |
