| Description of the problem | I was making a left hand turn on to a busy road and the vehicle would not accelerate - there was no response to the gas pedal regardless of how far i pushed it. The vehicle would not go above 40mph, nor was there any increase in rpms. I tried shifting to neutral and the engine revved and the rpms responded to the gas pedal. When i shifted back to drive there was no response once again. I managed to make it home at 40 mph. The vehicle has done this periodically and shows no service engine code. I also have had the problem where the lights on dash show [p][r][n][d] and the jeep appears to go into a "limp" mode with no response... This happens while driving - usually shifting to neutral and back to park corrects the situation. I am very concerned that this is a safety issue. I have two children and i transport them in this vehicle. No can figure out the problem although you can read for days about it on the internet!!! Very frustrating and don't want to see someone get hurt or killed before action is taken!!!! |
