| Description of the problem | I was involved in an accident on 9/11/05. I stepped on the brake in a hard manor, but since the brake is very close to the gas pedal, my foot was half on the gas and half on the brake. The jeep took off as i applied more pressure. I could not control the jeep, i slammed into a wood fence, then into a parked car. Causing major damage. This is very poor design by chrysler and dangerous, luckily no one was hurt. Check the distance between the gas and brake pedal. *jb |
