I WAS ON MAJOR INTERSTATE IN BIRMINGHAM ALA. CAR ACCIDENT I WAS HIT ON LEFT SIDE AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. AND MY CAR ROLLED . I HAD A CALL BACK ON MY HEAD RESTRAINTS .?

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO DE-ACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WITH THE BUTTONS AND IT TOOK 2 ATTEMPTS APPLYING THE BRAKE BEFORE IT DISENGAGED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, APPROX A MONTH APART WHEN I DECIDED TO TRY AND USE THE CC AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY DISHEARTENING SITUATIOIN TO BE IN AND EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU HAVE OUR CHILD IN THE CAR AS I DID.

IM WRITING TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE STILL QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL AND THE JEEP IS EXPERIENCE ALL THE DESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE POSTED.

TIPM ISSUE. ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON. ALL GAUGES DROP TO ZERO EXCEPT FUEL GAUGE. AC STOPS WORKING. CAR STILL RUNS AND IS DRIVABLE, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR SPEED LIMIT. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING. ISSUE SEEMS TO COME AND GO, BUT PROBLEM STICKS AROUND MORE THAN NOT.

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS WHILE ACCELERATING THE ACCELERATOR HAS BECOME LOCKED AT FULL THROTTLE. I POUNDED THE FLOOR FRANTICALLY TO GET IT TO RELEASE OR BECOME UNSTUCK WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY I HAVEN'T KILLED ANYONE OR BEEN KILLED MYSELF. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT EVEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WHAT CAN I DO. *TT *TR
