| Description of the problem | Driver was pulling into a parking spot doing approx 2 miles per hour. All of a sudden the car propelled forward, jumped the cement parking block and hit the building that the parking spot was in front of. Driver was going too slow and had foot over brake the entire time so how did the car just propel forward? 1 month or so after accident received a letter that there was a recall on the cruise control system. Took car into the jeep dealer who said that what the jeep did could totally have been a result of the recall????!!!!!!! |
