| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving my 2005 jeep grand cherokee i have experienced unwanted acceleration while braking on numerous occasions. this vehicle is equipped with the adjustable pedals. i have owned and driven jeeps for many years, to include 1996 grand cherokee and 2002 grand cherokee. i have never experienced this problem. it appears there is insufficient space between the accelerator and the brake pedal. i wear a size 12 shoe and i must make a very conscious effort to get my foot further to the left that is normal. i also have driven my 2004 dodge ram pick up over two hundred thousand miles from june 2004 to oct 2005 commercially and never had such an experience. my wife normally drives the jeep and she has commented on having the same experience. she almost rear ended a car as a result of these pedals being to close. we have adjusted the pedals up and down and get the same results. the same day she mentioned her experience i had a repeat performance myself. this is a very dangerous situation and i intend to take this car into waconia dodge /jeep for inspection. i will also send a note to the manufacturer. jeep drivers need to be aware of this hazard and confront the manufacturer to get a fix -- i have only experienced this hazard in the jeeps with adjustable pedals. *jb |
