1995 Jeep Cherokee Driver assistance Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTERS TO SCHOOL WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE JEEP STOPS. IT WAS HARD TO TURN THE WHEEL SO I CAN MOVE THE JEEP OUT THE MAIN ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND HAVE HAD THINGS REPLACED. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS IS A ON GOING ISSUE, THIS IS DANGEROUS THE WHOLE CAR LOCKS UP OUT OF THE BLUE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT, THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF GETTING AROUND AND IT COULD COST ME MY LIFE,

MY 1995 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN/RAPID ACCELERATION AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. CHRYSLER CLAIMS DRIVER ERROR, AS IF I DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION. THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THERE WAS A PRESS RELEASE IN APRIL 97 WITH REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1997 , TOO LATE FOR ME WITH AN 8-27-97 INCIDENT. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER. PLEASE ADVISE.
