| Description of the problem | I rented a jeep wrangler unlimited through alamo in puerto rico for 2 weeks. On 5 occasions while my foot depressed the brake with force, the car surged forward. My foot was only on the brake. In each instance, i was forced to throw the car into park to prevent the vehicle from surging forward. This created a dangerous condition in 3 instances, 2 where i might have hit larger vehicles (one a forestry truck, another a large box truck) on narrow mountain roads, 1 where i was at the edge of parking pad that would have resulted in the jeep going down a steep mountain ravine. |
