| Description of the problem | My 2005 jeep grand cherokee has a serious safety hazard. When the vehicle is started and placed into reverse, on 2 separate occasions, the vehicle jumped approx. 15 feet backwards. Also, one time while the vehicle was in drive, sitting in traffic, the engine revved on it's own and it jumped forward approx 15 feet. In all three incidences, the brakes where depressed and where not able to hold the vehicle back. The brakes had to be released and then re-applied to get it to stop. *nm |
