| Description of the problem | I was stopped at a red light near a shopping center and i went to turn right and my jeep would not go so i pressed a little bit further on the gas pedal and it took off almost like a lunge with jerky movement. This same thing happened when i was stopped at a red light from the shopping center entering a busy city 4 lane street going straight through the intersection and when the light turned green my jeep wouldn't go at first then i pressed a bit further on the gas pedal and it lunged forward. Good thing there was not a car in front of me! This has happened plenty of times and we have only had this vehicle for about 2. 5 months. It is now getting scary for me to drive knowing that if it lunges when it shouldn't i could be in an accident. So this is why i am filing a complaint. |
