| Description of the problem | After driving over a curb in a busy retail store parking lot, my 2014 jeep grand cherokee went into full acceleration. I could not slow it down with braking, as the brake was totally ineffective, although i had full pressure on the pedal. I crashed into another vehicle, which severed my lower control arm, the wheel swung out and was cut into two pieces, and the axle came out. As a result. I had reached speed exceeding 40 mph in a second or two. It was the most traumatic event i have ever been in. I have researched dozens of accounts of this exact vehicle experiencing "sua" or sudden unintended acceleration where it could not be slowed and went into uncontrolled speeds leading to crashes. Here is the link: http://m. Carcomplaints. Com/jeep/grand_cherokee/2014/engine/vehicle_speed_control-4. Shtml i am injured as a result and will require extensive follow-up medical care. I am enclosing pictures of the aftermath. Please help me obtain some assistance from this manufacturer to provide compensation for my loss and subsequent damages.*dt*dt*dt*jb*dt consumer stated i was contacted by the fca inspection team that the inspection was completed on november 4. *jb*dt |
