Jeep accident as result of unintended acceleration: I drove up driveway to put 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland in garage (normal daily activity). Electricity was out from a storm so the automatic garage door opener did not operate. I parked in front of the bay, put the car in park, turned off the engine and opened the garage door manually. I got back in the vehicle, started the engine, put it in drive and started slowly into the garage. I wanted to reposition the car, so I applied the brakes and was about to put it in reverse when, suddenly, the engine revved and the car shot forward like a torpedo. I had my foot plastered on the brake but the car would not stop and plowed into a garden tractor at the back of the garage. I tried to put it in park to stop it, but with the engine still revving, the car shot backwards out of the garage, across 37 feet of driveway, climbed over a low stone wall and went another 2 feet before slamming into the fieldstone bay window of our house, finally stopping. All of this happened within seconds. The brakes would not stop the car in either direction, and it accelerated at a frightening speed. When the car sped forward, it destroyed the tractor and threw it into another car parked in the garage. It also cracked the back block wall of the garage and did other property damage. When it went backwards, it hit the house so hard that it bowed the fieldstone front of the house, split drywall, damaged studs, etc. My husband got in the vehicle to move it, using the emergency brake to stop it. He said the brakes were very spongy and close to the floor. The next morning, pedal pressure was better and by two days later, the pedal pressure had improved even more. Total damage is still being computed, but the Jeep has been totaled, the other car in the garage sustained $2,000 in damages and other damage to the garage, house and property is well in excess of $20,000.
