| Description of the problem | My malfunctioning jeep patriot experienced sudden unexpected acceleration which resulted in a totaled car, 2 damaged buildings, and a fca letter stonewalling and washing their hands of. This accident came within a whisker of taking our lives. Accident happened as i descended our driveway to our house. Deep skid tire marks in gravel they chose to ignore. Their "investigation" was very very shallow. I have a detailed description of all that happened that day and police report which i can fax to you. I am a very angry and frustrated veteran i need you. Thanks.*dt*dt*jp*dt*jb*jb |
