Description of the problem	I rented a 2014 jeep patriot from one of the rental car companies on feb 17 2015 and used it for about five days before the following incident happened. On feb 22 , i was driving the car on i-5 going south. I made an exit after driving for about 2 hours on the freeway to refuel which i did. It was bright sunny day the time was around noon. I moved away from the gas pump and wanted to park it behind the gas station. I found a space between two cars and as i was slowly moving towards the parking space the car accelerated at an incredible speed, broke into a fence of a private residence, then hit a play house (for children) and landed in the swimming pool. Because of my ignorance about such incidences whereby cars self-accelerate, i thought i might have accidentally stepped on the gas and when the police arrived at the scene and asked me what happened, i said, "may be i stepped on the gas". Upon discussing this matter with friends and checking on the internet, i discovered that cars accelerated on their own from time to time. I have no doubt in my mind now that the jeep patriot just did that. I have over 40 years of driving experience and i don't remember a single instance when i stepped on the gas pedal while trying to bring a car to a stop. The rental car company said that they had the car inspected and sent me a letter they received from the manufacturer stating they did not find any malfunction problem. The car was immersed in the pool about half way and i am not even sure how the inspection can yield a reliable result for a car pulled out of a swimming pool.
