Description of the problem	In my 2005 jeep grand cherokee, while traveling on a congested road, approx. 25 mph, i took my foot off the gas to slow down. All of a sudden, the vehicle accelerated on its own. Luckily, foot was on the brake hard. I attempted to tap gas pedal with other foot several times while trying to fight through traffic without crashing. I attempted to ease up on brake pedal while trying to pull car over, tapping on cruise control button, making sure that was off. In a state of shock, i actually turned the ignition key off, but the vehicle remained going. Soon after, i was able to reach the side of the road with the vehicle still wanting to accelerate and foot still on brake. This terrorizing episode lasted for under a minute before it ended as suddenly as it started. Due to the shock, i didn't realize i should have put the car in neutral. After a few minutes, i drove the car home very slow and cautiously, still shaking. I did not notice gauges on dashboard at time of the incident. The next morning, the car was towed to dealership. Diagnostic testing, test driving. No codes, no incident replicated. Throttle system checked and cleaned. No diagnosis found, suggest to change floor mats. I have driven vehicle for four years, no complaints. This is the first incident which scared the heck out of me. Vehicle has 37,500 miles on it. Having to pay for diagnostics and towing, we still do not know if it will happen again. My wife and i are both scared! Hopefully, it won;t repeat itself.
