What owners wrote

On december 2, 2005, my mother was killed in an automobile accident in stanton, delaware. She was operating my 2006 jeep commander, and the incident was caused by unintended acceleration. The delaware state police contacted the office of defect investigation as part of their investigation. The delaware state police have recently advised me that the office of defect investigation is closing this inquiry.

As I driving down the highway I can be going between 40-60 MPH and if I let off the gas and just coast and then give it gas again its like it is in neutral and it continues to do this until the car is going 20 MPH or under and it is very dangerous it has caused me to almost have several wrecks and I have 5 kids which were with me in the car each time this has happened to me something needs to be done!
