| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 jeep grand cherokee laredo. I was stopped at a stop light, with my foot firmly on the brake. I am sure of this detail because if the brake is not firmly pressed, my car shakes as though it will turn off. So as i am sitting at the light, my car accelerated and moved about 6 inches. Luckily i was not too close to the car in front of me, but any closer and i would have rear ended the car. I called my local jeep/dodge dealer to ask of there were any recalls or any thing i should know regarding my vehicle and this situation. The employee, completely rude, asked me if i was talking to someone in my car and moved my foot of the pedal. He basically told me i was distracted, and since it was" 3 p. M. On a friday afternoon", i should wait and see if it happens again, then i could bring it in if i wanted to. I have 4 small children and there are millions of innocent children on the road everyday. You would think that this would be a more serious warning... Especially given the situation with toyota. |
