WHILE I WAS PARKING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING SPACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED ITSELF SO DRASTICALLY WHILE I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I HIT THE BREAK SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING WHEN I TURNED IT OFF. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AS NO ONE EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE ITSELF. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE YOU CAN NOTICE HOW FAR THE CAR WENT, HOW MUCH DAMAGE IT CAUSED BY THIS STRANGE ACCELERATION AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW FAST THE CAR ACCELERATED.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4-door 4xe verdict →
