| Description of the problem | On or about the above date the rpms on my vehicle raced up and the car suddenly lunged forward, it happened again a few times afterward without any check engine codes. I had it checked back then and nothing was found because no codes were present. This happened a couple of times a year since i owned it, but noticed it happens when it's raining. Today 3/12/2013 (heavy rain) my wife was stopped at a light and it raced & lunged forward just missing a pedestrian. I immediately brought it to a neihborhood jeep dealer & explained the severity of the situation. He was very accomodating and took it in immediately. After a few hours in the shop & a test drive ,again, nothing found. There were no engine codes present, all other components were with-in specs. I asked if this is a similar problem to the 2006 recall, he said possibly, but this vin. Is not under recall. (i belive the 2006 recall was the power train control module.) i am not sure were to go with this but this needs to be resolved by jeep before an accident happens. |
