What owners wrote
While braking to slow my vehicle down to pull into a parking space in front of a laundromat, the brakes would not engage for the purpose of making a complete stop when employed; instead the jeep unexpectedly accelerated and launched forward into the front door of the laundromat, striking the wall thereof and a washing machine ,wherefore my airbags did not deploy at anytime.
