2007 jeep compass in line of slow moving cars. Accelerator stuck causing compass to hit motorcycle, which then struck vehicle in front. May have been recall for compass, for this defect, not received by owner if so.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep compass FWD. On june 19, 2007, after coming to a stop, the contact accelerated and the vehicle stalled. The check oil light illuminated. She was able to immediately restart the vehicle. She went to the dealer to have the vehicle checked, but they stated that the vehicle was fine. The vehicle's computer lost its programming when she stopped to put gas in the vehicle. The contact also stated that the passenger side air bag light illuminated, as if the air bag was not working.
