What owners wrote
I was slowly pulling into a parking space in front of local pharmacy. As I was about to put the SUV into park the vehicle suddenly accelerated with my foot on the brake and then jumped two curbstones and went across the front entrance to the store and then hit a parked toyota SUV and pushed the vehicle back four feet and then finally came to a stop.
2014 jeep compass sport with manual transmission. Transmission was rebuilt in 2017, under warranty by the dealer due to making a lot of noise while driving the vehicle. As of 8/24/19, the same problem has returned. Vehicle now has 122,896 miles on it. Jeep customer service states that even though vehicle transmission was rebuilt in 2017, that this did not extend warranty and I may have to pay for this repair unless jeep decides to give good will service.
