A PERSON HIT MY FRONT LEFT PANEL NEAR MY DRIVER DOOR AND I WAS THROWN AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON.

I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE TO RUN AN ERRAND, DECIDED TO RUN BACK INTO THE HOUSE FOR A SWEATER. PUT THE CAR IN PARK (IT WAS STILL OUTSIDE THE GARAGE FACING THE OPEN GARAGE DOOR). HOPPED OUT AND WENT TO GO BACK INTO THE HOUSE WITH THE CAR DOOR OPEN. THE JEEP STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I JUMPED BACK IN, PUT ON THE BRAKE, TRIED TO SHUT THE DOOR AND IT SPED FORWARD ACCELERATING. IT WENT THROUGH THE OPEN GARAGE, IT JUMPED UP TWO STAIR STEPS, THE TIRES AND WHEELS CRASHED THROUGH THE TOP STEP FLOOR, JUMPED UP OUT OF THE HOLE IT MADE, LURCHED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE WALL AND WAS STUCK IN BETWEEN THE FURNACE WALL ON THE RIGHT AND SHELVING ON THE LEFT. THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AT THIS POINT AND I CUT THE ENGINE BY PUSHING THE IGNITION BUTTON. I THEN THOUGHT THE AIRBAG WAS GOING TO HIT ME, BUT IT DID NOT DEPLOY. I DECIDED I NEEDED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WALL, SO I STARTED IT AND SHIFTED BACK INTO REVERSE, BUT IT WOULDN'T MOVE. SO I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN STARTED TO PANIC THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN EXPLOSION AS WE HAVE GAS LINES, ELECTRICAL, ETC. THERE. THE FRONT DOORS WERE PINNED SHUT. SO I JUMPED IN THE BACK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT THROUGH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I RAN OUT INTO OUR YARD AS I WAS AFRAID SOMETHING MIGHT EXPLODE. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES OF THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE AS COMPLAINTS, ETC. IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THERE ARE MANY MORE I'M SURE AND THE NEW 2020 MODELS YOU HAVE 3 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALREADY. DO SOMETHING TO HOLD JEEP ACCOUNTABLE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2009. I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I BOUGHT THIS JEEP.*DT*JB*DT*JB

THE WORSE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS I STARTED MY CAR WITH MY GRANDBABY IN HER CARSEAT, I HOPPED OUT TO LOCK MY HOUSE DOOR AND THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE AND RAN INTO BARBWIRE FENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

The UConnect display on my vehicle is phantom pressing buttons, going to different screens, turning things on and off as I drive. Yesterday, I was put in a EXTREMELY unsafe situation with my vehicle where the UConnect screen turned off my blind spot detection. I was unaware until I attempted to merge into another lane and hit another car!!! I called UConnect and Jeep and they told me they won’t do anything because I’m not the first owner of the car and that it can’t be replaced but for 1,000 of dollars. I feel like this should be repaired by Courtesy because this is a safety issue.
