Owner complaint summary

We were at a complete stop waiting for traffic to go, I had my foot on the brake pedal and the car lunge/revved up and hit the car in front of me. This is the 3rd time this has happened. The first time we were advised it was probably the front-end sensor that were probably covered with ice. We were advised they are very sensitive. The 2nd time it was winter still, so we took the car through the car wash to make sure no ice was built up. We did not get in an accident because traffic started to move. We took the vehicle to the dealership, and they could not find anything wrong with it. Chrysler Corp got involved and they sent a 3rd party to check the van and black box. They advised nothing was found on the black box (not even an accident) and their investigators found nothing wrong with the vehicle. No warning messages were reported after the crash. Police were called to the scene and insurance was notified. Our insurance company advised that we should file this on here. There were 3 people in the van besides myself. We had a loaner vehicle for almost 3 months and we cannot get any information or paper work from Chrysler Corp regarding the investigation. We were advised the investigation was confidential and proprietary.
