| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee laredo automatic with hemi engine. Several times, i had the vehicle suddenly accelerate when changing gear from park to drive or reverse. Fortunately, i always had my foot firm on the brake pedal and that prevented the vehicle to launch and cause damage to surroundings. This happened several times since 2005 when i purchased the vehicle. I took this vehicle to dealer for service and reported this problem, then i checked the internet and found that this is not a single case. |
