I THEN CAREFULLY PUT MY FOOT SQUARE ON THE BREAK AND APPLIED PRESSURE BEFORE PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE SO I COULD PARK IN ORDER TO CHECK THE DAMAGE. AS MY FOOT WAS FIRM ON THE BRAKE, WHILE SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AS THE ENGINE RPM CONTINUED TO VIOLENTLY ACCELERATE AND SPIKE. THE BRAKE WAS ROCK SOLID AND DID NOT ACTIVATE ALL, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE I PUT ON IT AS THE JEEP ACCELERATED THROUGH THE PARKING LOT IN REVERSE, GETTING UP TO ABOUT 40 TO 50 MPH BEFORE STRIKING 4 OTHER VEHICLES. AT LEAST 2 OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WERE TOTALED. ONLY AFTER THE JEEP CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP INTO ONE OF THE PARKED CARS, WAS I ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND GET OUT TO MAKE SURE NO PEOPLE WERE INJURED. SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS WERE WALKING TO THEIR CARS AT THE MOMENT OF THE INCIDENT. NO ONE WAS HURT BUT SEVERAL PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE THROTTLE/RPM SPIKING OUT OF CONTROL. THE EXPERIENCE WAS COMPLETELY HORRIFYING.   THE ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER WHO I SPOKE WITH, WHO WAS ALSO PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, DID NOT WRITE A TICKET. AFTER INTERVIEWING ME HE DETERMINED THAT I WAS OF SOUND MIND AND BODY AND NOT UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANY TYPE OF SUBSTANCE.  AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL TECHNICIANS AND SALES ASSOCIATES AT THE JEEP DEALER, I' WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT JEEP CORPORATE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAD THE AUTHORITY TO HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER. MOVING FORWARD MY BEST ADVISE TO ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE TO CHECK THIS (NHTSA) WEBSITE FOR ANY MANUFACTURER MALFUNCTIONS AND/OR RECALLS.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"JEEP","productModel":"GRAND CHEROKEE","manufacturer":"Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)"}]}]}
