Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle independently accelerated to 70 mph without warning. The contact shifted into neutral to stop the vehicle. The failure was recurring and on one occasion, the contact had to steer into a row of bushes to stop the vehicle from accelerating any farther. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic several times for the failure. The failure was contributed to a sticking accelerator and the throttle body was replaced twice however, the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,346 and the current mileage was 146,000. Kmj.

I was stopped at a stop sign. Had put the car in park and when putting the vehicle back into drive, it accelerated in reverse and hit the truck behind me. I was able to get the vehicle in drive however, it accelerated forward. The entire time I had my foot on the brake. I accelerated through an intersection over the curb and I believe because I turned the wheel as I was heading towards a block wheel the Jeep spun and I hit a tree. The insurance company has investigated the event. There are skid marks and I have pictures, witness behind me stated my brakes were on the entire time and there was evidence from the investigation that the brakes had been applied. However the investigator could not get the vehicle to duplicate the problem and the throttle was not sticking.
