Description of the problem	I started up my vehicle and the etc light came on, let me remind you that it's been going on and off every day, well, i put the car in drive and as soon as i let off the brake, my car accelerated to 4 rpm's and i hit the back end of a family friend who was parked in the drive way. I had the body/mechanic shop take a look at it while repairing the body, and they had no for sure answer. I have had 5 different mechanics look at it and had my codes ran more than once. It's ridiculous. The etc light is on constantly. It's all a matter which day its going to accelerate on its own and which day its going to lose power. This is ridiculous. I have called chrysler multiply times. My argument is the fact that it isn't something that i have done to the car. What if something was to happen and it came on when i was at a traffic light, somebody is walking across the road and my car accelerates. That family is going to sue me and my insurance and my insurance is going to sue chrysler. It's so pathetic, it costs almost $100 just for them to tell me what's wrong. Then, lord knows how much it will take to actually fix the problem. We have already spent almost $500 trying to fix the problem ourselves and that obviously isn't working. I hope that they're are others who are experiencing this problem so we can get it fixed which it what should've been done a long time ago. There are plenty of complaints online and none of which have found a fix to the problem. My car now has 114,000 miles on it and i still have 4 years left to pay on it. And quite frankly, due to this issue i will probably never buy another jeep again, chrysler as a mater of fact. I hope nobody has gotten hurt though! Thanks!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
