2016 Jeep CHEROKEE Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1295731
Internal NHTSA #	10882409
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	CHEROKEE
Model Year	2016
File date	02/07/16
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While using cruise control, traveling up and down hills, the speed would not remain constant. The variation of the speed would be between negative 5 mph to 16 plus mph, without my foot being on the throttle. At times while traveling down hills, the engine would actually engage to accelerate the vehicle. The tachometer would show the engine rev increase and you could hear the engine as well when this happened. I have an incident of this on video in which i had the cruise set to 45 mph and while traveling down hill, the vehicle accelerated to 58 mph, without my foot on the throttle. I wanted to use the cruise control to get better gas mileage on the highway, but would often have to hit my breaks to avoid the vehicle in front of me due to rapid acceleration. After discovering this issue, i refused to use it as a result. This is not my vehicle, but a rental vehicle. This issue happened the entire time period i had the rental i have video to prove this but am unsure how to upload it as according to your website it is not a supported file format. I will provide upon request. My husband, who is an faa a&p licensed mechanic, filmed the video while i was driving, and suggested i report this issue. He also did some research on the internet to determine if this is a known issue with the jeep, and found that it appears to be, as many are reporting similar issues.
