What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2011 jeep grand cherokee. After backing into the driveway and attempting to place the vehicle in park, the vehicle accelerated in reverse without warning. As a result, the person behind the vehicle was struck and pinned underneath the tires. The victim was fatally injured. The vehicle accelerated all the way through the garage and traveled up a three foot high concrete wall behind the garage where it finally came to a stop. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure.
I bought a 2011 grand cherokee from shave jeep in thousand oaks, ca. The vehicle started to malfunction within days after purchase. It would seize up, usually at highway speed, stall out, thus losing power steering and brakes. I brought the car in for service about 8 times until I almost got hit by a big rig on the highway at night when my car died. The constant engine light reading was a camshaft position sensor. Chrysler techs attempted to resolve the problem without any luck.
