My husband was sitting at a complete stop at a walgreen pharmacy drive-through he stepped on the accelerator as he was leaving, and quickly let off the accelerator to make the turn to go around the building. However, the Jeep kept picking up speed. He stepped on the brakes, and kept pressing on them, but the Jeep kept going faster, only stopping when it jumped the curb and hit a brick wall. He had very little time to react. The distance from where he accelerated to the brick wall was approximately 50 feet. The skid marks started after he traveled approximately 14 feet, and were approximately 34 feet long before he hit the curb. There was another 2 feet between the curb and the wall. It damaged the bumper, tore off right front fender, crumpled the right front quarter panel, damaged some of the lights, flattened both front tires, and broke the right rim. He contacted Chrysler, and filed a complaint. Chrysler sent an engineer to examine the collision , and afterwards they sent a letter denying our claim.
