2017 Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1502693
Internal NHTSA #	11133589

File date	01/10/18
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I am the original owner for 10 months. Several times over the last ten months, when stopped and then depressing the gas pedal fully without cruise control or launch control engaged, the throttle continues to accelerate even though my foot is removed fully from the gas pedal. It forces you to put the car in neutral and brake until the throttle becomes "unstuck" and the rpms of the engine come back down. I am mechanically inclined and have checked to see if the floor mat or something around the pedal or pedal mechanism was causing the pedal to be stuck but there are no indications of any mechanical interference. I have read from other owners who have had a similar issue with the high performance trims (srt and trackhawk) of the grand cherokee. Again cruise control and launch control were not activated in any way. I know there was a cruise control recall for throttle sticking but this is not being observed with the cruise control set or on. Is this perhaps a related issue ??

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
