SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
I WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD HEADING EAST, I GLANCE OFF TO THE LEFT ONLY A GLANCE AND AS I LOOKED IN FRONT OF ME I COULD SEE TWO CARS IN FRONT OF ME ONE CAME TO A STOP TO TURN AND THE OTHER NOTICE THE UNSUAL STOP AND STOPPED. I WAS BEHIND AND HAD ABOUT THIRTY FEET SPACE IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP. I PLACED BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES AND PULLED UP THE HAND BRAKES TO STOP MY JEEP, BUT IT WOULD STOP AND GLIDED INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHO IN TERM HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. BOTH CARS ARE OK, THE FIRST CAR I HIT HAD A TIRE ON THE REAR WITH BURST MY RADIATOR. THE CAR IN FRONT OF THAT CAR HAD A LITTLE DENT ON THE TRUNK. I THINK THAT THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BECAUSE I STUD ON THE BRAKES AND ALSO USED THE HAND BRAKES. PLEASE ADVISE.. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN SHIFTING FORWARD ONE POSITION TO OVERDRIVE WITHOUT THUMB BUTTON PRESSED, SHIFT LEVER WENT FORWARD TO REVERSE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL AT HIGH SPEED WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH WITH INJURIES SUSTAINED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO THE DRIVER. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS APRX 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND WAS NOT REPORTED BECAUSE DRIVER THOUGHT SHE MAY HAVE HAD THUMB BUTTON PRESSED IN. SHE CHANGED THE WAY SHE WAS SHIFTING TO OVERDRIVE SO THAT THUMB WAS NOT RESTING ON BUTTON AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT DID NOT. VEHICLE ROLLED TWICE AS A RESULT OF CRASH. MAY ALSO BE RELATED TO INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF KEY BEING STUCK IN IGNITION. SOLUTION WAS TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THUMB BUTTON ON SHIFT LEVER UNTIL KEY WOULD FINALLY RELEASE. PLEASE ADVISE OWNER OF ANY FINDINGS. *AK
