Started Jeep and all three lights presented on the panel (electronic throttle, electronic stability control, malfunction indicator light). Attempt to drive and would not move past 2krpm and commenced "stuttering" and then stalled. Had car towed to mechanic (mpg automotive and fernie's auto) to confirm failures.

The contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. While attempting to turn into a parking lot, the contact removed her foot from the accelerator pedal to depress the brake pedal and the vehicle accelerated at rapid speed without warning. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal, but the vehicle accelerated faster. As a result, the contact crashed into a medical building and injured another person. The other person sustained bruising to the chest that required medical attention. The contact sustained an injury to the left arm that required medical attention. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to klamath falls Honda (2810 washburn way, klamath falls, or 97603 (541) 205-4917), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000.

I was driving down the road and barely touched the shifter and when I touch the shifter it slipped over into where you shift your gears I feel like it's a could catch the car on fire because it is revved up so high and you don't even realize it because you cant hear it unless you you got radio off and windows up and you can never tell I definitely think they should have made it more safe when from some kind of a lock on the shifter for when you want to go over into where you shift the gears yourself not to mention how expensive cars are and that you could very easily tear up your car by it being in the manual shifting area rather than the automatic shift.

While driving slowly (~10 mph) sb I prepared to make a right-turn (wb), in the only lane that turns right. As I neared the intersection the light turned green, enabling me and the (1) lane on my left to go (it goes sb). No car was ahead of me (to turn). The street I was turning onto had one (wb) lane, and two lanes (stopped), that go eb. Note: (may be relevant), I frequently down-shift (automatic) transmissions (using the "paddles" or "buttons", whatever's on the shift column), on all automatic trans. Cars I drive, when I slow down. I do this to save wear & tear on my brakes, when approaching stop-signs or red-lights. I down shift gradually, just like on a manual trans. When it's time to go, I hold the paddle in the "up-shift" mode, until I see "drive" on the trans. Indicator. In this accident, as the light turned green (the trans. Was in a low gear), I held the paddle in "up-shift" mode (note: I may have clicked the paddle 1 gear up before it went to "drive", I don't remember), and started the turn, barely pressing the accelerator. When I was appr. Halfway (45 degrees) into the turn (pointed swb at the opposite two lanes), I felt the engine "stagger" (like if you accidentally shift a manual trans. Into a high gear but you meant a low gear), and in a fraction of a second-the car rocketed ahead (I heard rpms) slamming me into the wb car(s) so fast, I didn't even make 90 degrees, nor could I brake (I tried). The 1st car impacted went backward (and to the right) hitting the car behind, and hit the car in the right lane. Note: 1. Jeep was totaled. 2. This accident was in dry weather, mid-morning @ intersection I drive nearly every day. 3. The airbag failed & I was briefly knocked-out w/some injuries. 4. This is not: " I hit the gas but meant the brake" case, I went from slow to rocket-ship. 5. I've been driving > 40 years w/o accident. 5. I'm a pilot w/good reflexes.

Vehicle has had total of 9 incidents involving check engine light involving fail code 22, p2127,p2138. Car has had stationary stall outs or no starts. While vehicle is in park has high rev to 3000 rpms.

While on highway ;rapid uncontrolled deceleration from 65 to 40 mph, with no ability to re-accelerate with jerking forward and back motion. Self acceleration(driver has not engaged accelerator pedal) from stopped position= 0-40 mph requiring emergency brake application to stop with limited to no steering capability.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership (anchorage Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram, 2601 e 5th Ave, anchorage, ak 99501, 1-(907) 276-1331) more than 5 times however, they had been unable to determine a specific diagnosis to replicate the failure of the vehicle stalling. There was an unknown/unspecified dtc that kept flashing as the loss of electrical power continued. The vehicle was not repaired yet and the instrument panel shorted as well as the radio shorted with internal electrical problems continuing. The battery was replaced and the oem radio but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for a remedy for a permanent fix. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. Dyd.
