What owners wrote
Pulled into parking space. Applied brakes and came to a complete stop. Could hear engine revving up.. Thought ok, that gas pedal seem to be pressed. Look at my foot wasn’t pressing the pedal. Looked at floor mats. It was laying flat on floor, not manipulating the pedal. I thought what’s happening? And lifted foot off brake ever so slightly and car jumped 6 inch high curb and hit the building.. Pretty hard. Caused structural damage to the wall. I went to the hospital, driven by husband.
Engine dies when driving. Windshield wipers come on tpm light comes on then engine dies. Sometimes when driving the wipers come on, tpm light, then car slowes but recovers. When starting car turn key to start and the starter continues when you let go of key. Have appt with jeep, they say they may or may not be able to fix if they can reproduce. DTC codesu0127 lost comm with the tire press monitor mod. DTC b2305, wiper park switch input circuit high (stuck high).
