| Description of the problem | 2007 jeep grand cherokee, throttle problems. ( at low speeds 5mph -25mph) vehicle hesitates sometime when you take off, sometimes it jumps off the line, some days you go around a corner and push the throttle and it don't do anything, then it takes off real quickly. When going up and down hills it hesitates or surges and changes gears abruptly. I took to dealer and they said it was common and did a computer re-flash at no cost. It dint help anything. There were 2 other jeeps there for the same problem. The dealer wants me to bring it back and leave it for the day so they can try to fix it. I wonder how many people have to die over something like this. I wonder how many people complained and died over the toyota problems before anyone investigated? Its a real problem, look around on some of the jeep forums under idle or throttle problems. I found about 100 other complains about the same problems im having in about 15 minutes. |
