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.

My oil pressure and check engine light kept turning off and on. I contacted the jeep dealership in regards to the issue, and they advised me it was not dangerous. The problem continued so I attempted to transport my vehicle to my mechanic, and as I was transporting the vehicle I heard a loud "pop!" from under the hood. The car began to decelerate causing me to have to pull safely to the side of the road from three lanes over.
