 Description of the problemThe jeep grand cherokee overland (may be other models) has a feature identified as eco. It is actually a dash button that must be manually overridden each time the car is started. The function is (i suppose) a fuel saving mode, however myself and many others in the jeep blogs have a serious issue in that the car reacts in a sluggish mode when pulling into traffic and shifts in a manner not normally associated with smooth driving as the shift points are changed from what one would consider normal. It appears to inject more air, less fuel into the firing process producing the sluggish driving experience. I and others have sought relief from this ( opt out function) from dealers, to no avail. Many drivers, as have i, have express fear of a potential collision when this feature is engaged. There appears to be a disconnect between the epa, seeking improved economy and the highway safety board seeking to reduce accidents. At the very least this feature should be modified to be an "opt in" feature to be possibly utilized in highway conditions not in stop and go and merging traffic.
