Driver had their foot on the brake pedal, and the vehicle accelerated. This caused an accident. Please provide more details. Ts.

On several occasions prior to accident, always under five miles an hour, I would step n the brake and the car wanted to keep going. On the occasion of the accident, I applied both feet to the brakes and the vehicle did not stop and hit a chain link fence. An invsestigator from Chrysler check the vehicle on 8/29/01 and indicated that the only thing that could have happened is that the accelerator pedal sits high than the brake pedal and I hit both at the same time. My foot is not wide enough to hit both at the same time. In a previous incident, I was in park , put the vehicle into reverse and it lerched backward. The investigator could only duplicate the situation by putting his foot on both the brack and accelerator at the same time. This vehicle is unsafe and I am afraid to drive it.

This will be the third time in 30 days I have brought my car in for repair on the transmission. The engine light comes on and the outside temp. Gauge says it's 125 degrees outside when it is 84 degrees. I press my foot on the pedal and it hesitates and slowly drives until the gear kicks in and then jumps forward. First they thought it was the transmission colnoid, then they thought it was the module unit now they say it's electrical. When pressing the brake, I feel a clicking on my foot that happens frequently then goes away. The dealership where it's being serviced is not sure what the problem is and it's taking a very long time to rectify the situation. I am a previous Grand Cherokee owner and had consistant problems with the rotors and that one. I am now unsure of my safety and the reliability of this vehicle. I have already consulted an attorney and can only hope that it doesn't need to come to that. What can I do to rectify this situation ?.
