The contact owns a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerates by itself and makes a strange noise in the transmission box. The vehicle has been in and out of the shop since the date of purchase, with repair costs exceeding $4,000. The dealer stated that even though there are recalls, her VIN is not included. The dealer changed her fuel injector system, which caused her to be involved in a crash and also receive speeding tickets. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle shut off on the freeway and almost caused another vehicle to run over her. The contact stated that it takes approximately fifteen minutes to start the vehicle. She took it back to the dealer after the most recent failure and they stated that she would need another fuel pump. She called daimler Chrysler who stated that she needed to take her vehicle back to the dealer. Chrysler stated that they would replace the parts of her vehicle at no cost.
