What owners wrote
Vehicle accelerated while braking at railroad crossing, causing it to move forward hitting a moving train at a ninty degree angle.
I was coming upon a 4-way intersection with one car in front of me at the traffic light when my 2002 jeep grand cherokee accelerated at a great rate of speed as I touched the brake going about 5 miles per hour. I plowed into the 2008 chevrolet pushing it into the intersection. To avoid hitting it again, I turned the wheel hard to the right as there were 2 lanes of traffic waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
