POWER TRAIN
MY SON WAS DRIVING MY 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AT 30 MILES/HOUR WHEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITH LOSS OF ALL BRAKE POWER CAUSING HIM TO DRIVE UP ONTO A PARKED CAR WHICH CAUSED THE JEEP TO OVERTURN ONTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. LUCKILY FOR HIM, HE SUSTAINED ONLY A SMALL CUT FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BREAKING ON IMPACT AND WAS CLEARED MEDICALLY WHEN HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. A POLICE CAR HAPPENED TO BE FOLLOWING HIM AND WITNESSED THIS INCIDENT. WHEN THE OFFICER RAN TO THE JEEP AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND HELPED MY SON CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE, HE MADE MY SON TURN OFF THE JEEP BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AND SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS RACING ALTHOUGH MY SON WAS NOT PRESSING THE GAS PETAL (HE WAS STANDING ON THE SEAT).

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
PLEASE CONTACT ME REFERENCE THE AIR CONDITIONING A/C UNIT IN MY 1995 GRAND CHEROKEE JEEP. I'M TOTALLY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE AND RESPONSES I'VE RECEIVED FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFERENCING THE A/C. THE A/C NOT WORKING ON A 500 MILE PLUS TRIP (ONE WAY) CAN CAUSE UNDO STRESS ON FAMILY, ESPECIALLY ONE WITH YOUNG KIDS AND A PREGNANT WIFE. WHEN AN AUTHORIZED AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIP REPAIRS YOUR VEHICLE, YOU FEEL SOMEWHAT CONFIDENT. I CANNOT PLACE ALL THE BLAME ON THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM AND CAN PROBABLY BE LABLED AS A MANUFATURER'S DEFECT.PLEASE CONTACT ME AND ADVISE ME ON COURSES OF ACTION AS DAIMLER CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (DON PHILLIPS) ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PROVIDING ANY ASSISTANCE.*AK
