Liberty 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,360 miles
: the contact stated when applying brake pressure the vehicle lurched forward. When attempting to make a low speed stop at a stop sign, the vehicle suddenly accelerated into traffic. The vehicle continued to accelerate even though brake pressure was applied. The vehicle struck a culvert, rolled 3 times and eventually came to a stop along the embankment. The contact was extracted from the vehicle by emergency services. Although the contact was wearing a seat belt, minor injuries were sustained. Upon initial impact, the seat belt released from the buckle assembly and the air bag did not deploy. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was deemed totaled by the insurance adjustor.
