4 Back Up Alarm problem of the 2006 Jeep Commander

Failure Date: 07/28/2006

On July 28, 2006 I had place the Jeep in reverse and the parking assist never picked up my 2004 chevy avalanche parked behind me in the drive way. Causing the Jeep to back into the avalanche. Jeep was taken to dealer for review, found nothing wrong by their computer test. Jeep was contacted and a adjustor came and ran the same test in August, he stated nothing was wrong with the parking assist. Since then I have had the Jeep in for normal service (oil change), they have found a code in the computer for errors with the sensor. Jeep has stated they will not review the case again until I have the damage repaired. Sensor is going off everytime the Jeep is in reverse whether something is behind it or not.
