Description of the problem	I was driving home from a restaurant less than a mile away from my apartment and took a left turn onto the road where my apartment complex was located , and the car started up fine and was okay until about 3/4 of the way home. The 2004 grand cherokee overland after making the left turn accelerated uncontrollably to about 60-70 mph on a not-so-straight road. The brakes were applied, which did nothing, the emergency brake was applied for no response, finally before running into oncoming traffic i pulled the keys out of the ignition and pushed the ignition into neutral and then park. The car skidded to a halt right before i dead ended into oncoming 5 o'clock traffic. The car was off, so i restarted it and it, being in park took off forward at maximum rpms. 8 or 9 thousand rpms in park, and moving! Talk about scary. It did this approximately 7 times while starting where it skidded to a stop after the first rampage. I waited until a green light, turned the key, it took off in park, and allowed me while driving to move the shifter to drive, hauled around the turn at full speed into the adjacent parking lot where it finally started being normal. Thankfully that parking lot is adjacent to my apt complex so i drove back without really any trouble aside from a few over revved. Left the car in the garage, and have turned it on twice with no issue. Its being towed in the morning for the second time that this type of problem has happened. I will now be selling this car. *ak
