I just want to get it fix
The first month or so, my car would randomly die on me, whether i was stopped at a red light, or driving, regardless what speed i was going. I was able to start the car up immediately afterwards and continue like nothing happened. A few weeks later it wouldn't start at all.called mechanic, he changed the coil. Drove great for a month or so. Then it started doing the same thing. Took the jeep to the shop. Had fuel filter, fuel pump put in. Ran good for a couple of weeks before it started all over again . Progressively got worse. This time before it died it would buck violently a few times due to dying and starting itself up while driving, accompanied with a really weird odor, like rotten eggs. I then pulled over, turn the car off and check to see if my car was on fire (not). Started the car and drove home ,(7 miles). The next day in the process of taking the jeep to the shop, the jeep bucked on and off 3 different times, the smell was intense when a glowing fireball launched out from the rear the size of a baseball scattering all over the freeway. At this point i pulled over and shut the engine off and ran away from it. Called mechanic he drove the jeep to the shop 20 miles. In this process jeep died 2 different times in which it took a while before it would start and drive again. Had cat converter and o2 sensor put in.drove good no problems for 2 months or so. Problem came back mechanic took the new cat converter of . I drove it for a few weeks until it died now it is parked.

I purchased this jeep because i was told it needed a transmission, these are the symptoms, when you first start the truck and you put it in reverse, the engine kills. You start the truck up again and put it in reverse, it vibrates and the engine wants to die but the computer tries to increase the rpm to prevent it from dying, you then have to apply the brakes hard, when you put it in neutral, the rpms are at about 2000 and then they come down. When you try driving the car forward it has a vibration and when you are coming to a stop, it does not want to stop, its as the computer is reving the engine like it does in reverse.i have had the transmission rebuilt and it did the same thing, they have taken this transmission out 4 times, changed everything in it 3 times, got another transmission and put all the new parts in that one and still the same problem. I replaced the tcm from a same year grand cherokke, had the dealer flash the computer and still the same, had the try to diagnose it and they thougt it was the map sensor, because of the rpm problem, i changed it and still the same problem. After all these changes, the truck now runs fine for a few minutes, but when it warms up, the same problem occurs, im not sure if thats because the wheather is cooler now. I have so much money tied up in this truck and besides this problem, the truck is in great condition and runs great, can somebody please help me.

Wow, it's very amazing to me that there are so many v6 grand jeep cherokee's hat have cracked exhaust manifolds. We love our jeep's, we are the owners of our second one. This is under the jeep where the exhaust and emissions heats and and cools. The jeep sounds like a hot, hot rod. (i'm not in that age bracket anymore). This manifold is so common now that your local pep boy's, david early tire etc. (small shops) are stocking them?they use to be a factor order item.

Air conditioning failed.nlm
There was an extended warranty on the air conditioning evaporator that i found at an internet site "lemonaidcars.com"the warranty was extended to 7 years and 115km.this jeep would have qualified if the warranty notice had been sent to jeep owners.
The a\c has gone out three times since i've had the truck. I have had all the o-rings replaced and have had a dye put into system. They cannot seem to find the leak. As of 1/24/00 the a\c is not working.this will be my fourth time having the a\c system checked. Is there a problem with this year .i would like any information on this and to also let the maker of this truck know that i have had alot of problems with it.
Have already replaced high and low hoses and have been advised that the evaporator core leaks. I was also advised that chrysler jeep has had recalls on the evaporator core that may still be in effect for this year model and make vehicle. If this part was recalled i want to have it replaced.

Then it worked well for 3 or 4 days. Then it started not putting out cold air again.still not fixed. They continue adding that new stuff. They put in, i forgot what it's called. The horns i used 3 days a week prior. As i picked up my niece to take her to school.then, on top of it all, the alternator and water pump went out had to replace them.the battery died to, 11 months old, replaced. I feel this was all due to the car accident. According to most mechanics, it's normal wear.

Another thing, i want considered is the fact, that my car is at least 21 years old, so there might possibly be rust, but not to the level that would prevent them from completing the installation.

Exhaust manifold cracked. (just above donut)dt
My 1994 jeep grand cherokee has fuel line problems that know one can seem to fix. There aren't any leaks, however, it jerks and slips into a neutral state from time to time.first i began to add expensive fuel cleaners (didn't work), then i had it serviced by 3 different mechanics who all performed fuel emission cleaning. Currently, it still slips, then jerks forward with extreme force-one time causing an accident. Now the jeep cannot stay on when it is started, it comes on and drops dead, i have to race the engine to keep it from shutting back down.in 2001 i had a transmission overhaul therefore it cannot be a transmission problem.the "coolant sensor is bad" signal stays on the computer, i went to replace it, however, jeep eagle and the rest of the autoparts businesses have a different model sensor that doesn't appear to be the same as the one in my jeep, their reply is "i don't know why they look different, it must be the wrong one."the rear lamp failure light is also on yet there are no bad lights in the rear, and i checked every last one of them.during the summer there is water leaking from under the dash board onto driver and the passengers feet.what i would like to know is whether these issues are only my problem or the manufacturer? *la
Electrical fuel pump malfunctioned, vehicle stalled, resulting in a fire.a fire.
94 grand cherokee. This will be the forth time that i have replaced the fuel pump in my jeep. Same behavior, stalls without notice while decelerating or letting off the accelerator. If not replaced right away it will not stay started when you first start it for the day. Eventually it will not start at all.i also had to replace the driver side door hinge which came completely off the door. It was making popping noise when opening and shutting of the door. Had it check on several occasions and was told that jeep had a problem with the doors. Eventually the door fell off.i have never seen this before. I was shocked to find out that a door was $1600.00. My back door on driver side is popping as well. I guess i don't open and shut the back as much. But the body shop said it will eventually fall off.have there been any other concerns like these two.
While driving 65 mph and without warning vehicle shutdown. Mechanic stated that it was caused by a malfunctioned fuel pump.
At 45mph, vehicle stalled out. It was vibrating prior to stalling. Towed to shop. Had fuel pump replaced. The vehicle still stalls. Returned & had the air & fuel filter changed. The problem still exists. Its stalls at least once a day, but not consistantly.
Fuel pump failed causing the vehicle to stall without warning causing a sudden loss of power, check engine light did not illuminate prior to failure.nlm
Fuel pump assembly failed.
Fuel line is leaking. Delaers noted leak could have been caused by a rock striking underbody of vehicle.
Frame fuel filter (g7399) suddenly ruptured upon starting the vehicle.this was the first start after the vehicle had sat idle for two weeks in my closed garage.there was absolutely no prior indication of any problem.unknowingly, i drove vehicle, with windows closed, 3 miles with gasoline spraying out of a 50 mm longitudinal slit in the filter body.upon parking/exiting the vehicle the smell of gasoline was overwhelming.the entire left rear wheel area and pavement beneath vehicle was drenched in gasoline.i estimate 8.5 gallons (3/8 of a tank) of gasoline had been sprayed out in only ten minutes of driving.frame fuel filter was installed on 09/28/97 at 37715 miles.filter failed on 10/14/01 at 64460 miles.in my opinion, the problem lies with the frame filter not with the vehicle.

Car will not start.engine turns over but doesn't start.the autoshop told me that the fuel pump is shot.i went on to some jeep forums and there was a considerable amount of people that also had the same problem.after contacting the jeep help line, they basically told me that the car is 10 years old and that i could find anything i wanted on the internet, but for a jeep 1995 that is 9 years old they did submit a recall for the same problem i am having.he was very rude to me also.in these forums i found that people that filed a small claims lawsuit against jeep were paid out of court.so it seems like they know about the problem but are trying to stay away from fixing the problem.most people have had to replace the fuel pump about 3 to 4 times and it still hasn't fixed the problem.also to fix the fuel pump it costs about $500 per incident.

The first month or so, my car would randomly die on me, whether i was stopped at a red light, or driving, regardless what speed i was going. I was able to start the car up immediately afterwards and continue like nothing happened. A few weeks later it wouldn't start at all.called mechanic, he changed the coil. Drove great for a month or so. Then it started doing the same thing. Took the jeep to the shop. Had fuel filter, fuel pump put in. Ran good for a couple of weeks before it started all over again . Progressively got worse. This time before it died it would buck violently a few times due to dying and starting itself up while driving, accompanied with a really weird odor, like rotten eggs. I then pulled over, turn the car off and check to see if my car was on fire (not). Started the car and drove home ,(7 miles). The next day in the process of taking the jeep to the shop, the jeep bucked on and off 3 different times, the smell was intense when a glowing fireball launched out from the rear the size of a baseball scattering all over the freeway. At this point i pulled over and shut the engine off and ran away from it. Called mechanic he drove the jeep to the shop 20 miles. In this process jeep died 2 different times in which it took a while before it would start and drive again. Had cat converter and o2 sensor put in.drove good no problems for 2 months or so. Problem came back mechanic took the new cat converter of . I drove it for a few weeks until it died now it is parked.

Subject: complaint - 1994 jeep grand cherokee recall n45 - rear structure reinforcement ---comments: as owner of a 1994 jeep grand cherokee being recalled for rear structure reinforcement (installation of a trailer hitch) to protect the fuel tank against leaks and fire or explosion caused by a rear end collision, please be advised that the manufacturer's response to this issue has been unacceptably slow and deficient. I have been on a waiting list for some time at the local jeep dealer who is unnecessarily delayed waiting for parts (apparently a trailer hitch) to correct this defect. The prolonged delay in the manufacturer not providing the required part(s) is dangerous, unwarranted, and unacceptable.
On or about june or july of 2014, i travelled about 40 miles to crown motors of holland, mi to have my vehicle repaired for the gastank recall.

I purchased this jeep because i was told it needed a transmission, these are the symptoms, when you first start the truck and you put it in reverse, the engine kills. You start the truck up again and put it in reverse, it vibrates and the engine wants to die but the computer tries to increase the rpm to prevent it from dying, you then have to apply the brakes hard, when you put it in neutral, the rpms are at about 2000 and then they come down. When you try driving the car forward it has a vibration and when you are coming to a stop, it does not want to stop, its as the computer is reving the engine like it does in reverse.i have had the transmission rebuilt and it did the same thing, they have taken this transmission out 4 times, changed everything in it 3 times, got another transmission and put all the new parts in that one and still the same problem. I replaced the tcm from a same year grand cherokke, had the dealer flash the computer and still the same, had the try to diagnose it and they thougt it was the map sensor, because of the rpm problem, i changed it and still the same problem. After all these changes, the truck now runs fine for a few minutes, but when it warms up, the same problem occurs, im not sure if thats because the wheather is cooler now. I have so much money tied up in this truck and besides this problem, the truck is in great condition and runs great, can somebody please help me.

Thewas driving on a donut tire and the axle over heated and caused a fire. The was in route to take the vehicle in for a tirewhen the incident occurred. Provide further details.
On 10-11-99 the above auto had a flat tire, which was replaced on the vech. By the factory original spare, a t155/90d16. The tires on the balance of the auto were p235/75r15. The spare was placed on the right rear. While driving a few short miles, the car seemed unresponsive in handling, and smoke/fluid started coming out of the transfer cases. The auto was then trailered to the jeep dealer listed. The next day the front and rear transfer cases were inspected, no damage was visible, seals and fluid replaced. Since that time, the rear of the auto has been "growling"(as the service tech called it). Now the diagnosis is axle problems possible, with the repair bill at approx $1500.00. My contention is that all of this was due to an incorrect size spare being placed in the vechile when manufactured. I have spoken to three engineers in the auto industry that say the problem began with the small spare. Has there been any other action with daimler chrysler/jeep on this issue? i am sending a letter today to jeep seekingresolution on the matter. Any suggestions.

The manufacturer denied any responsibility.the 1996 jeep grand cherokee was recalled (recall # 757) for a similar problem and the consumer believes the scope of the recall needs to be extended to include other years.the spare tire used caused frictionbetween the both front and rear differentials, resulting in fluid loss and a spark which started the fire.*ph*nlm

Going down the highway at 65 mph, noticed a metalic crunching sound, which became a chattering and whuring sound.brought the vehicle into a local dealership, the mechanic said that it was a spun front pinion bearing.after the mechanic fixed the front end, the pinion bearing spun again, this time they had to order a whole new axel for the front end, the part took 42 days to be made.i'm not sure if the part took that long to be made, but i had stated that i wouldlike to purchase a new car, and only aftr i decided not to purchase the new car, because chrysler finacial was looking for more than a $6000 down payment.the part appeared after i told them i idn't want to buy the car.after the parts were replaced, the front end was fine, and i was over $6500 dollars poorer after renting a car and waiting for the part to be made.

We had two (2) goodyear viva ii tires put on the rear of our jeep, size p215/75r15, at walmart service center at 3400 north 85th st, lincoln, ne 68507 on 07-27-2013 and then two (2) more goodyear viva ii tires put on the front on 8/7/2013.after having the first 2 tires put on the rear, we noticed indents in the sidewalls going all the way up to the treads. I spoke to the technician about this and the technician said that it was not a defect, that this was the strongest part of the tire. The technician stated that this is what they told him in the training course. After having the front tires put on, we noticed the same indents in the tires but they were more severe. Before the tires were put on, i told the technician to torque the lug nuts to 85 ft/lbs as that is what the jeep manufacturer manual states.the technician refused and told us that he torqued every wheel at 100 ft/lbs because this is what he was told to do in his training.my wife, spoke with customer service at goodyear the next morning about our concerns about defective tires and she began a claim immediately.she had us take our vehicle to graham tire in lincoln where they put 4 new upgraded goodyear wrangler tires on our vehicle immediately.during the tire switch out, graham tire showed us that the front face of the rotor was badly bent due to the rotor not sitting on the stud correctly and the walmart technician over-torqued them at 100 ft/lbs when they should have been torqued at 85 ft/lbs according to the jeep manufacturers manual.we had the rotor and studs replaced by graham tire and walmart paid for this work and parts.every tire and rim is torqued differently according to the manuals.walmart is torqueing lug nuts at 100 ft/lbs and will not listen to manufacture specs.this should be investigated because wheel studs are going to break and wheels are going to come off vehicles.

I was driving home from work on a pleasant summer afternoon. When i went to stop in traffic my brakes failed.

We checked with tarbox motors to see if there was a recall on these brakes but was told that the recall only applied to the 1993 jeep grand cherokee.i feel that something should be done about this problem before someone is killed instead of being lucky like me and be doing only 20 when it happened.

The consumer received a recall notice, 99v34, on brake rotors, but the dealer says other failed parts should also be replaced at the same time the recall parts are fixed. The consumer disagreed.
This is more a potential safety problem with the brake rotor recall being incomplete. After contacting the dealer, and chrysler it seems that within the recall wording there is a potential for the same problem that already exist to be caused by improper practices. Whenever a brake rotor is either replaced or resurfaced the brake pads should be replaced. This is done to insure that you don't get foreign debris in the brake contact area. The recall leaves an open in, dealers having an option not to replace the pads. When in fact mechanics are taught to do the replacement anytime rotors are resurfaced or replaced. When chrysler was contacted they put the ball in the dealers court when issues concerning pad replacement arise then the dealer in turn does the same. Consumers are forced to buy the pads which should be part of this recall to begin with. They also get hit with a labor charge that is not right because the work is to be done whenever the calipers are taken off the vehicle for anyreason. Jeeps own service manual states specific procedures on the servicing of the brake components. They also tell how the brakes work . Just in the description itself on how the pads and rotors work is explanation enough on why you wouldn't use used pads with new/resurfaced rotors and vice-versa. People are put at risk becouse if they make the wrong choice at the dealership on deciding to replace the pads or not they are then the ones at risk of facing the same type of problem that jeep is supposidly trying to render. I have copies of complaints, letters, pages from the service manual, reciepts and other agencies i have contacted. So far it seems that noone is interested in trying to prevent a potential problem due to the seemed oversight or negligence of chrysler. They are possibly trying to defray some of the cost by ignoring what every mechanic, college, and other manufacturers dealers all agree that this is improper.

The contact owns a 1994 jeep grand cherokee.the contact stated while driving out of a parking space the steering wheel malfunctioned.the steering wheel continued to spin.the contact towed the vehicle to a local mechanic.the mechanic stated there was a disconnect in the steering column due to a plastic pen shearing off.the mechanic stated the steering column needed to be replaced.the contact called the manufacturer regarding the steering wheel but they did not provide any assistance.the contact stated this was a safety issue that could have caused a crash. The failure mileage was 175,000.
Incident occurred twice in one day. Had occurred before, but very infrequently. Driving around 66 miles per hour on a highway, the car hit a slight bump in the road and began to shake, violently and uncontrollably. The front end of the car shakes so severely that i am forced to slow down to under 15 mph to stop it. The problem again occurred later that same day, on a different road (a major u.s interstate), traveling at about the same or perhaps slightly greater speed. The bump that i hit was very small, but the shaking that came after caused me to shift lanes and pull off on the shoulder of the interstate to make it stop. All together, i would say that this has occurred with my vehicle about 8 or 9 times, but was thought to be fixed several years ago (by a mechanic admittedly not associated with jeep). The problem went away for a while but is obviously returning and getting worse. Some other jeep owners refer to it as the death-wobble, do to the violent and alarming nature of the shaking.

We are on a recall notice (n45 nhtsa 13v-252) original equipment manufacturer (oem) trailer hitch.i received the safety recall notice from chrysler yesterday 1/16/2014. I called ziegler jeep, 208 w. Golf road, schaumburg illinois 60194 (847) 882-8400 to schedule an appointment to have the recall fixed.i talked to a man in service and he told me they have no parts to fix the recall and he does not know when they are going to come in and that i have to keep calling periodically to see if they have the repair parts.this is unsatisfactory.if i get in an accident because they have no parts, this is unacceptable.you sent the recall notice out.why don't the dealers have the part to repair the car?i am making it clear, right now, that i have done my part.now why can't jeep do theirs and fix my car?why is it my job to keep calling back.why isn't there a list being made by the dealer so he knows when he gets his parts, who gets the parts first?updated 02/03/14
1994 jeep grand cherokee.consumer writes in regards to oem trailer hitch was installed two weeks before the vehicle caught fire from a gas leak after being towed.prior to the fire, the consumers son had the vehicle towed to a repair shop, because there was a strong gas odor and evidence of a leak around the fuel pressure regulator, that was installed a year prior.
1994 jeep grand cherokeewas placed on recall list of chrysler to install trailerhitch. Recall service stated rust and corrosionlevel 5 unable to complete recall.i then took my car to a muffler shop and had it raised to see what was going on. I saw no extreme amount of rust that would have prevented them from performing the recall work. I asked the mechanic if they could install a trailer hitch to my car, they said for a fee. I truly believe that they did not want to complete the work, because they couldn't make any money off of it. Another thing, i want considered is the fact, that my car is at least 21 years old, so there might possibly be rust, but not to the level that would prevent them from completing the installation.

Subject: complaint - 1994 jeep grand cherokee recall n45 - rear structure reinforcement ---comments: as owner of a 1994 jeep grand cherokee being recalled for rear structure reinforcement (installation of a trailer hitch) to protect the fuel tank against leaks and fire or explosion caused by a rear end collision, please be advised that the manufacturer's response to this issue has been unacceptably slow and deficient. I have been on a waiting list for some time at the local jeep dealer who is unnecessarily delayed waiting for parts (apparently a trailer hitch) to correct this defect. The prolonged delay in the manufacturer not providing the required part(s) is dangerous, unwarranted, and unacceptable.
Wire that holds glovebox broke.
Driver side pannel is missing.yh
Driver's side door separated fromhinges. Dealer has inspectedvehicle.
Driver side door had completely failed. I was unable to open and close the door safely. This occurred over time and with typical use, driving roughly 1000-12000/year. It occurred at roughly 92000. I have had the car it's whole lifetime and there has been nothing to exacerbate this problem, other than opening and closing the door. The passenger side door, as it wasn't used as much, was slowly getting to the same state but was still functional. Repair cost $600 to reweld the door hinges.
94 grand cherokee. This will be the forth time that i have replaced the fuel pump in my jeep. Same behavior, stalls without notice while decelerating or letting off the accelerator. If not replaced right away it will not stay started when you first start it for the day. Eventually it will not start at all.i also had to replace the driver side door hinge which came completely off the door. It was making popping noise when opening and shutting of the door. Had it check on several occasions and was told that jeep had a problem with the doors. Eventually the door fell off.i have never seen this before. I was shocked to find out that a door was $1600.00. My back door on driver side is popping as well. I guess i don't open and shut the back as much. But the body shop said it will eventually fall off.have there been any other concerns like these two.
Door hinge on rear passenger door of 1994 jeep grand cherokee is separating from door.nearly one half of the door hinge is breaking away from the door.
Door hinge was welded before by previous owner, so not positive that hinges are original - could be replacement or could be original that was welded.spoke to willie dowling at dowling brothers autobody repair specialists, 400 lake avenue, saint james, new york (631) 584-7300.he told me that he has repaired about 50 of these jeeps (with the hinge problem) over the years.
Drivers door came unwelded at hinges. Consumer lifts door to close. Also, had to climb form passenger side to driver side due to keeping door locked to stay closed.dealer was not notified.

Incident occurred twice in one day. Had occurred before, but very infrequently. Driving around 66 miles per hour on a highway, the car hit a slight bump in the road and began to shake, violently and uncontrollably. The front end of the car shakes so severely that i am forced to slow down to under 15 mph to stop it. The problem again occurred later that same day, on a different road (a major u.s interstate), traveling at about the same or perhaps slightly greater speed. The bump that i hit was very small, but the shaking that came after caused me to shift lanes and pull off on the shoulder of the interstate to make it stop.

While traveling at 55 mph vehicle was shaking hard from side to side, causing consumer to slowdown. Dealer has been contacted, an repaired front end. But,problem has returned.please provide further information.
While driving vehicle at (55) mph andhitting any sort of bump or rise in the road,the vehicle starts to shake out of control. Needtohit your brakes to stop the vehicle from shaking or decrease the speed by 15 mph.also, transmission noisy while shifting and abs brake failure/pedal soft.

On 10-11-99 the above auto had a flat tire, which was replaced on the vech. By the factory original spare, a t155/90d16. The tires on the balance of the auto were p235/75r15. The spare was placed on the right rear. While driving a few short miles, the car seemed unresponsive in handling, and smoke/fluid started coming out of the transfer cases. The auto was then trailered to the jeep dealer listed. The next day the front and rear transfer cases were inspected, no damage was visible, seals and fluid replaced. Since that time, the rear of the auto has been "growling"(as the service tech called it). Now the diagnosis is axle problems possible, with the repair bill at approx $1500.00. My contention is that all of this was due to an incorrect size spare being placed in the vechile when manufactured. I have spoken to three engineers in the auto industry that say the problem began with the small spare. Has there been any other action with daimler chrysler/jeep on this issue? i am sending a letter today to jeep seekingresolution on the matter. Any suggestions.
Binding/grinding/poping of front-end when turning @ 3-25 mph, causing enough resistance to stop the jeep when at lower speeds, along with hum & vibration @ higher speeds. Replaced front halfshafts.

Disc brake anti-sqeal shims,frt. Disc brake rotors, frt. & rear thrid cover gasket,limited. Slip additive & lubricant frt. & rear. Problem contiunes.

She didn't know, but she quotedas to nothing needed to be done but the sticker. How is this sticker suppose to save any lives in the vehicle if we get hit, they might as well put a band aid on the problem, literally. Now i've tried calling the recall center at (800) 853-1403 stayed on the phone for over two hours and no one answers but a recording of music. Then we called the vehicle safety hotline at (888) 327-4236 s/w a[xxx] got a ref# [xxx] & was told to call the manufacturer at (800) 992-1997 & we been on hold for 48 minutes and still holding.

The paint is coming off on my 1994 jeep cherokee
I can start my vehicle after it's sat overnight. But i go anywhere from 1 mile to 100 miles in it & once i turn the vehicle off it won't restart for an hour to 6 hours. I've spoken with many people regarding this problem and it seems to be a common issue with jeeps. I'd like to know what is causing this exactly. I was wondering if there was anyway i can have the problem fixed, free of charge to me. And if so, how do i go about doing so. I can be emailed at [xxx]. Thank you for your time.

I just purchased a 1994 jeep grand cherokee larado from a gentle man in massachusetts. I was told the vehicle had 52,000 original miles on it. I received an affidavit from the original owner claiming he check the wrong box on the title when he sold it to the gentle man i purchased it from. I was told by him that all i had to do was show the affidavit to the dmv when i transferred the title to my name and they would correct the title. Well needless to so the dmv said the original title said "actual miles" and that was that. So i titled it to my name and it says 52000 miles "not actual miles". So i started to wonder what was going on and i made an appointment with the local chrysler dealer to check out my vin info. They said that the window vin plate has been replaced. So now i think someone has done something dirty with this vehicle. What do i do now??

While driving with my infant son on the freeway, i felt the vehicle seeming to speed up involuntarily, i.e. Without putting my foot on the accelerator.i exited the freeway at the nearest off-ramp, looking for a place to pull over safely and inspect my vehicle.having no place to pull over, i kept driving, by this time having to stomp on the brake to maintain a safe speed on the city street i was driving on.upon coming to a red light and attempting to brake, the car accelerated, thus causing the brake to be ineffective.in order to avoid hitting the car stopped at the light in front of me i had my foot slammed on the foot brake, the emergency brake pulled and the car in park.even with all of this, the car engine revved, the car lurched, smoked and make hideous noises before the light finally turned green and i put the car in drive and continued on.finally, after continuing to drive with my foot depressing the brake pedal, i found a safe place to stop and was only able to stop the car from moving forward by shutting it off.amazingly, no one was hurt, nothing was damaged and we walked away from the incident understandably shaken and confused.no attempt has yet been made to fix the vehicle.we consider ourselves to be extraordinarily lucky.

We had two (2) goodyear viva ii tires put on the rear of our jeep, size p215/75r15, at walmart service center at 3400 north 85th st, lincoln, ne 68507 on 07-27-2013 and then two (2) more goodyear viva ii tires put on the front on 8/7/2013.after having the first 2 tires put on the rear, we noticed indents in the sidewalls going all the way up to the treads. I spoke to the technician about this and the technician said that it was not a defect, that this was the strongest part of the tire. The technician stated that this is what they told him in the training course. After having the front tires put on, we noticed the same indents in the tires but they were more severe. Before the tires were put on, i told the technician to torque the lug nuts to 85 ft/lbs as that is what the jeep manufacturer manual states.the technician refused and told us that he torqued every wheel at 100 ft/lbs because this is what he was told to do in his training.my wife, spoke with customer service at goodyear the next morning about our concerns about defective tires and she began a claim immediately.she had us take our vehicle to graham tire in lincoln where they put 4 new upgraded goodyear wrangler tires on our vehicle immediately.during the tire switch out, graham tire showed us that the front face of the rotor was badly bent due to the rotor not sitting on the stud correctly and the walmart technician over-torqued them at 100 ft/lbs when they should have been torqued at 85 ft/lbs according to the jeep manufacturers manual.we had the rotor and studs replaced by graham tire and walmart paid for this work and parts.every tire and rim is torqued differently according to the manuals.walmart is torqueing lug nuts at 100 ft/lbs and will not listen to manufacture specs.this should be investigated because wheel studs are going to break and wheels are going to come off vehicles.
