 Description of the problemSudden unintended acceleration "sua" occurs at a complete stop with brake applied. First time 08/14 as i pulled into a forward facing curb-i had just come to a complete stop and was about to put the car in park when the engine loudly surged. I was astonished and got the car into neutral;the surging stopped. The car was new and i could not believe this happened-i was dumbfounded. The second time the "sua" happened was 01/26/15 -i came to a complete stop at traffic light behind several cars. As i came to a stop with my foot on the brake the car's engine surged violently and the car tried to move forward. My husband was a passenger in the car and witnessed my foot was on the brake. I immediately moved the gear shift to neutral and surging stopped. I relayed this incident to jeep service rep by email who said he never heard of this. The third time of "sua" was 6/25/15; i was first car at traffic light. I came to complete stop with foot applied to brake when the engine surged, the car squealed and jumped about 3-4 feet into the intersection; i got the gear into neutral and the surging subsided. Took the car to jeep dealer who tried to duplicate the situation over a period of 14 days without success. I also contacted chrysler corp. Who opened and then dropped a case. Fourth time on 12/03/16-i was 3rd car at a traffic light and, again, came to complete stop with foot on the brake when the engine surged violently and rammed the car in front of me damaging my car and his. In this instance i was unable to get the car to neutral in time. Chrysler corp was contacted, they investigated by retrieving info from edr and concluded "we are not led to believe this is a manufacturing responsibility and ... Decline any assistance with this incident." our written requests for the data results have been ignored. Jeep service will not issue us a repair order-the car is unsafe!
