Description of the problem	Stopped for gas. Started engine and there was great and unexpected acceleration. Had to maneuver to reach the exit area---kept my foot on the brake and went forward with the engine straining, put it in reverse, same thing. Couldn't 'de-accelerate'. Moved forward a bit and shut the engine off. If i was not quickly in control of that vehicle there would have been fatalities wrote chrysler and received a response that there were no recalls on this model. Took it to the local dealer service department. He put it 'on the computer' and by the end of the day found the problem. He discovered a service bulletin dated may 13, 2006 which applied to grand cherokees equipped with the 5. 7l engine. It described the problem and the solution. This warranted a recall. Why couldn't the owners (lessees in this case) be notified to bring their vehicle in to correct a defective part of the vehicle computer (p2112). What a simple solution for a dangerous defect!
