JEEP sudden acceleration nearly kills my wife!
Comment On: Jeep Grand Cherokee Sudden Acceleration Investigation Requested
Posted by Thomas F. Di Luzio on 3/5/2007 | Filed Under: Crash & Defective Product Liability

On Feb 26, 2007 our 2006 Jeep Grande Cherokee experienced sudden unintended acceleration and total brake failure at the same time causing a potentialy fatal accident involving my wife & school kids on their way to school. This happened after the vehicle which was purchased on Feb 8, 2007 was brought into the shop with electrical problems and the smell of burning wires. Someone needs to do something to stop this before it turns into another Pinto or Explorer!!!
