| Description of the problem | When slowing down from any speed foot off gas pedal vehicle suddenly accelerates. Happens at various speeds. Even put transmission in neutral coming to stop and it still accelerates on its own. At every stop and corner just takes off. Yesterday almost hit the car in front of me. I was stopped and the jeep decided to accelerate. Had it at dealer on 9/12/14 for service. Jeep did tranny update but did nothing. Head of service department said i just needed to drive it to work itself out. I thought he was joking but he was actually serious! Going to take jeep back to dealer before it kills me ( not joking). Getting worse all the time. |
