 Description of the problem2006 jeep commander. Consumer writes in regards to sudden acceleration. *smd the consumer stated while traveling southbound on the northway, the vehicle suddenly and without warning accelerated at a high rate of speed of about 90 mph. At the time, the consumer was about five car lengths from an automobile ahead of him in the same lane, and in 10 seconds he was just a few feet of overtaking and crashing into the vehicle. He applied the brake, then the accelerator, repeating it over and over, but to no avail, unable to bring the vehicle to a stop or even slow it down. Realizing that crashing into the vehicle was imminent, he made an oblique turn into the traffic lane to his left and continued at 90 mph with the engine screaming and with the thrust of a rocket, his foot was on the accelerator, trying to shut the vehicle down. The vehicle continued on at a high speed for another 10 or 15 seconds and then the situation corrected itself and it settled down to 50 mph. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, where an inspection revealed the throttle body plate was full of carbon and that interfered with the performance of the throttle causing the sudden and unexpected acceleration of the vehicle.
