Wife was dropping off son at swim practice. Wife noticed son had left a drink in the jeep. Wife placed the vehicle in park and was walking up the sidewalk to take my son his drink when she heard a noise (popping) from the direction of the jeep. She turned to see the jeep rolling backwards across the parking lot. My wife attempted to stop the jeep but was knocked to the ground. The jeep continued backward until it hit a fence and a sign pole.
While on the website of consumer affairs I noticed that there was an issue with automatic acceleration on the 2004 jeep grand cherokee laredo which I own and have experience this happening luckily I have always been in control of the situation, and frequent stalling. Either it jumps at a red light or it stalls, stalling is better, not being able to bring it to a shop due to financing, I try to stay on top of it, this already has caused some deaths I see on the site, when are they going to recall this vehicle due…
