My wife tried to back our 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee just a few feet out of the garage. Immediately after shifting to reverse, the engine was on full throttle while my wife's foot was on the brake and the car hit a moving van jus ten feet outside the garage with enough force to cause $9000 damage to our car. Chrysler has reviewed the case and says they can find nothing wrong with the car. I have researched this issue and have found that Sudden Unattended Acceleration (SUA) occurs 12 times more frequently per 100,00 vehicles with Jeep Grand Cherokees than with all other peer SUV's. If Chrysler will not take the car back, I have considered simply stopping the lease payments and letting them take it back after the body damage has been repaired. What are the implications of doing this? We are convinced that this car is inherently dangerous and unsafe. This is our third leased Grand Cherokee.
