    While driving at 80 mph, a very large buck ran in front of the car on the interstate. After driving back by to see the deer the next day it was probably around 300 lbs. The entire front portion of my vehicle was caved in. No airbags deployed whatsoever. Hitting something so massive at such a high rate of speed should have deployed some sort of safety mechanism i.e (airbags!!!!!)

Men in the parking lot were yelling at me asking why i would get out of car with it in reverse. Obviously, not what i…

    I had the keyless bob in my purse, walked up to the car and it unlocked. I opened the rear door and buckled my 3 year old in her carseat. I placed my purse (which contained the fob and my cell phone) on the passenger seat. I closed the rear door and went around to the drivers side and attempted to enter the vehicle. All the doors were locked. It was 95 degrees outside and 110 degrees in the car. I had to find a…

    Move shifter to park only it doesn't go into park when you think it did. It's a dangerous shifter. My brother has the same issue with his. You must keep your foot on the brake and make sure it is in the desired gear. I thought it was in park, when it was still in gear. I got out of the vehicle and it started to roll back on me. I quickly jumped back into the vehicle to stop it without accident, this time.

    I parked the car & placed the gear shift in park. The engine was still on. I exited the car to mail a letter. The car suddenly rolled back hitting a car that was waiting for my parking spot. The accident report states the car was "driverless". I contacted the dealer. Reluctantly they examined the car & said nothing was wrong. I asked how was it possible to exit the car if it wasn't in park. My foot would have to be…

    I pulled into a parking spot in a parking garage but was favoring the right side. I backed up approx. 6-8 feet to straighten the car out. As soon as i put the car in drive, it lurched forward at full throttle, with my foot still on the brake. I couldn't stop it. The car accelerated rapidly and shot forward, over the parking barrier and rammed into the cement support structure of the deck. The impact was jarring and…

    I started my 2014 jeep grand cherokee and stepped outside to assist my son who was in the front passenger seat. Before i could walk around, from behind, the jeep started rolling backwards, picking up speed, and hitting another parked suv. I never understood what actually happened just "assumed" my son, accidentally, touched the gears, but wondered how/why would the jeep move without the brake ever being depressed.…

    This jeep was sold to me and my brother as a new vehicle. It was purchased at fowler dodge in oklahoma city, ok. My brother took the truck to another dealer today and was told that the vehicle has been involved in a bad accident and has been repaired. All of the federal stickers have been removed, we feel that this is a safety as well as fraudulent sale. I have called the dealer and have not recieved a response.…
