It was a clear day as I arrived at work. While pulling into a parking spot, the Jeep suddenly accelerated over a curb and into a tree. I was able to turn the wheel upon seeing the tree, which helped me avoid hitting other vehicles on the opposite side of the island. I had to depress the brakes multiple times before the vehicle finally stopped just short of another tree. During the incident, I was on a conference call. The attendees confirmed that there were no warning sounds from the vehicle—only the sound of the impact. Notably, the airbags did not deploy. The front driver-side area sustained extensive damage, causing the driver’s door to jam. Fortunately, I did not suffer any physical injuries. The vehicle was towed to an auto body repair shop. When connected to a scanner, no error codes were detected. Repairs took nearly five weeks. Although the front sensors were replaced, they still did not function properly. The shop consulted a technician who remoted in and advised them to replace all the sensors again and inspect the wiring. Although the vehicle has been repaired, I remain fearful of driving it. I’ve read similar reports on this board suggesting these issues may be related to the electrical system. I plan to contact the dealership to ask whether they have experience with such cases and if they can inspect the systems.
I was driving on the freeway and the car stuttered and then stopped, had to get towed home found out the aux battery was bad, replaced that and brake hub and sensor on driver tire but abs. And anti swerve light. Also no cruise control. Screen says fcw unavailable service required, also 4wf service.
The contact owned a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated the vehicle had been driven for three hours and parked. Moments later, the vehicle was restarted and while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration. While pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle did not stop and continued to accelerate forward, and the speed increased. While attempting to avoid driving into a river, the contact made a left turn and crashed into a tree. After crashing into the tree, the vehicle continued to accelerate forward and began to increase speed. The contact shifted the transmission shifter to the park position, and the vehicle was stopped. During the incident, no injuries were reported, a police report was taken the next morning, and the vehicle was towed to a nearby towing facility. The vehicle was later examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was caused by a computer malfunction. No further information was available. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was 64,000.

Hello dear…. I suffer from a problem when I’m driving my truck and it’s as follows: when the gear is on d and my truck stopped ,and I stomp the gas pedal with a little force my truck keep going I can’t stopped for 40 seconds after which return to the normal driving state,this situation happened to me 5 times,I don’t know if the speed control cable can interfere with the speed control servo pulley and not allow the throttle to return to idle when disengaging the speed control (a stuck throttle could result). . ,,.
The vehicle starts jerking at a high rate of speed that become dangerous. Often times the vehicle will shut off on its own. Also the unconnect system goes out a lot. Another problem going wrong with the Jeep is that the back window always makes noise as if it would crack or something.
Holding the "+" button down for more than a split second causes the speed to quickly increase in 5 mph increments. While driving on the interstate at 65 mph, I pressed the "+" key and within seconds the speed control setting jumped to 95 mph. I hit "cancel" as fast as I could. In Jeep's 2017 and 2019 models that I owned the speed increased gradually when the "+" key was depressed. Th selling dealership checked out the vehicle and reported to me that it was working as designed. See attachment.
Was pulling into shop on nice sunny day. I turned taking a right off road and some lady swerved right off road and hit me doing 50mpg. This caused me to go forward in vehicle and accelerate at a high speed. I then hit a metal carport which crashed on my roof. Busted sunroof, hit side of brick wall on passenger side and then went down into a steep ditch and partially back up. None of the airbags deployed. I did see one black oval shaped airbag behind the front driver tire afterwards. Jeep was totaled. Front end was demolished looked like a big mouth. Both wheels were turned in and busted. It was crushed. . Sides were completely dented in. Not sure if I accelerated or the vehicle did on its own as I have no recollection. Notified Jeep they sent someone out to do a report as I was injured.
