A car wash attendant proceeded to enter the customer's 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee to dry it down after it rolled off our insured's car wash track. The vehicle was in neutral. He placed his foot on the brake and started up the Jeep. He put the Jeep into drive. The engine revved up really high and took off. The Jeep lurched ahead striking the closed overhead car wash door. Physical damage to the door and the customer's vehicle resulted. The customer's vehicle was totalled. Employee is certain he did not place his foot on the accelerator. Requesting action be taken to avoid bodily harm and more property damage from occurring in the future.
I purchased a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited in 2007 and it had 25,000 miles and one owner. At 40,000 miles the blenn doors failed due to defect of cheap plastic and shoddy construction. Most Jeep dealers want $1500. 00 to repair this issue. This is a safety issue and Chrysler should be held responsible and pay for full repair of this malfunctioning design.
I was completely stopped at a 4-way stop sign. Each time the van in front of me moved forward, I would let off the brake to drift forward a few feet, and then re-engage the brake to stop. When the van that was directly in front of me moved forward to take its turn at the stop sign, I again let off the brake to drift forward & then re-engaged the brake. However, my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine revved/idled high & it lurched forward. I smashed the brake to the floor, but the Jeep lurched forward a 2nd time. I lifted my foot for a split-second & again pushed the brake pedal as hard as I could, but the Jeep lurched forward a 3rd time & hit the van in front of me. My daughter was in the car with me & felt the Jeep lurching/jumping forward as well. Not to mention, she heard me saying that I couldn't get the Jeep to stop. I am certain I was not pressing the accelerator simultaneously because my foot was firmly/solidly on the brake pedal. If I had been on the gas, I would have hit the van much harder/faster. Now, I will be responsible for paying for the damages done to the van, as well as paying for higher insurance premiums. The truth is, I am not at fault; the Jeep is.
I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited and I am having several issues. First the seat warmer on the driver's side quit working. Then the heat on the passenger side stopped working. Finally, the heat went out all together. I've been doing some research on the internet and it seems that several other Jeep Grand Cherokee owners have this same problem. It seems to be an issue with the blend door. I haven't had it fixed yet because the estimate to fix is was very high.
Blend door breakage/failure on electronic dual climate control system.
When put into drive vehicle suddenly accelerated and crashed into a wall 20-25 feet away. Brake pedal was depressed and accelerator was never touched during incident.
Accelerator stuck as I entered my long driveway. Car crashed into retaining wall at end of driveway. My face hit steering wheel and air bag did not deploy. This occurred on 9-5-03 and I do not yet know repair costs.
