| Description of the problem | This is horrible and i was scared. But i was driving slowly up my street and it started to race, i was trying to brake as i turned in my parking space my car was still racing and wouldn't brake and i ended up driving into my property, it seemed to accelerate as i kept braking and up the steps the car went and the car then stopped inches from my door. It was racing as i was braking and it would stop not until it hit the porch step. It was horrible, this car has never launched like a rocket. It was like it magically accelerated. I have had this car for years and keep it maintained. I see there have been recalls about this, why did i not get a card. I am glad i or anybody did not get hurt. Jeep is in shop. |
