| Description of the problem | Exact same scenario.... Traveling down the road, stopped at a light and car went into limp mode with the esp mode disabled lit up on the dash. Car was idling at just under 2k rpm and would not accelerate. Car normally idles at just under 1k rpm. With my foot on the brake the car wanted to drive forward, light turned green and let off the brake, i was doing 20mph without my foot on the gas. I pulled over and shut the car off, restarted and ran fine for a day. Next day i broke down 5 times coming home from work. Car would run fine and all of a sudden i would feel a power surge in acceleration and i knew it was coming, next stop light car would start to idle funny and light turns green, no power. No matter how hard i smashed the gas pedal, rpms would not move from just under 2k. I shut the car off, restarted and took off like normal. Im going to the dealer tomorrow to have it checked out and im taking statements from this page to show the dealer that there are many people having this problem and cannot fix it.. I am positive jeep knows about this problems and will not admit to it. Hey if we have enough people can any say "class action law suit"???? Oh yeah remember i said i have video of this??? Because everyone said dealer could not replicate the problem or figure it out? I also have a 15,000$ paper weight in my driveway that's worth no more than 400$ at the local scrap yard. I've had to many problems with this jeep and this is the last straw. Jeeps are junk, and remember "its a jeep thing", you wouldn't understand. Yeah they are right on that, i don't think anyone understands!!! I also have recorded video of this if anyone from jeep wants to contact me. |
