Description of the problem	After driving to work 29 miles while waiting for day shift to get out so i can get a parking spot while in park with the engine running for around 15 minutes i then put it in drive with my foot pressed very hard on the brake pedal the engine revs up to a very high rpms and my jeep moves forward even though i have all my pressure on the brake and i am a male at 210 pounds. This has happened over a dozen times since i have owned this vehicle. I bought this vehicle brand new and the dealer i bought it from says they can not find anything wrong. It is going back to the dealer monday 2/23/2015 again for this problem and to replace a shock. The last time they said all they could find was that the trany fluid was low not sure what that has to do with my problem. Anyway i really love my jeep however this is a very dangers problem. I work at chrysler second shift and when day shift lets out there are over 100 workers leaving and if my foot was not pressed firmly on the brake i could have hit one of them. I have the 5. 7 hemmi engine and personally i think it is a computer issue however i am not a mechanic so like i say that's just my personal thinking. The vehicle mileage i gave you is a close guess i am not able to get the exact mileage at the time i am sending this to you. Should be give or take around 100 miles. I can go a month or what ever with no problem then bam it happens. My phone number is [xxx ]feel free to call me if you have any questions.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
