| Description of the problem | Once before the jeep seemed to accelerate suddenly. Today as i was maneuvering to enter my garage the car leaped out of control. I didn't know if the accelerator had stuck, if the brake had failed to work, or if there was a problem as i changed gears to maneuver. I threw the car into another gear and that stopped the problem. It was extremely frightening. This is my third jeep in a row. I have been driving them (and only them ) since 1992. I am very familiar with them. I am calling the dealership to ask that they examine the vehicle. Something is very wrong. Ps-the computer will not allow me to submit this report unless i say that my jeep grand cherokee is a "scrambler" or a "wrangler", so i have to say it is one or the other although it is not! *jb |
