| Description of the problem | While my wife was driving today she noticed when trying to find a parking spot, the engine speed increased without foot on gas pedal, she had to hard brake to get vehicle to stop. I took it out tonight and as i was in city traffic the jeep would race up to 2000 rpms when foot was on the brake. I had to press on brake harder than normal to get the vehicle to not hit the car in front of me. Called dealership to report problem. At this point i am scared for anyone in my family to drive the vehicle. The same thing happened at least 4 times on the way home. |
