| Ellen romett, (wife) in an attempt to move our 1995 jeep cherokee grand lmt. forward in the driveway a few feet, placed the vehicle in drive with her foot on the brake. the vehicle suddenly accelerated forward at high speed through the yard fence, she immediately hit the brake, however the car continued to travel an additional 34 feet and finally came to stop after hitting a large cherry tree. grass and driveway markings validate her attempt to brake the vehicle and the fact that the acceleration continued even after braking. air bags did not deploy. injuries to my wife appear to be minimal, however, there was extensive damage to the jeep cherokee and $1400 in property damage. *nlm | |||

| Many of the problems i have had with this vehicle could have caused a fatal crash. there are many failures apparently not being addressed by chrysler. jeep vehicles should be sold along with legal representation. the list of problems i have encountered so far are as follows: complete automatic transmission, lf axle, viscous coupler in transfer case--big $$, complete a/c system, cruise control, air bag sensor, speedometer assy.+ the recalls as of date--fr. brake rotors, shift interlock--very unsatisfied 1st time jeep owner. | |||

| On this occasion and a previous one approximately 2 years ago accidents occuring on the frontal portion of the vehicle failed to activate the air bag. the driver stuck the windshield with his head and cracked same and bent the steering whell as a result of the impact but the air bag did not activate and inflate. |daimler-chrysler was notified in both instances and they sent an investigator . on both occasions they had an explanation as to why it did not work neither of which explains why in a accident as serious as this in which the front right side (head light area) came in contact with a utility pole that resulted in enough damage to total the vehicle and the air bag did not deploy. my son driver could have been injured much more seriously that the bumps and bruises from emcountering the windshield and steering wheel. i contend that the system on this vehicle is not a safe deterent in an accident. | |||
