| Description of the problem | Jeep seems to get revved up and gets stuck there, and i can't seem to stop it short off shutting it down. Last time this happened was on 10/8/12 as i was getting on freeway. I was not going more than 30 miles an hour when all of a sudden it revved up to about 5. However, when i took foot off gas it did not go down, even after tapping brake. Also, even after giving gas again, could barely get it to move so i could get to side of road,(thank goodness nobody was behind me) as i coasted over and shut it down right there, after restarting it was fine. My mom and sister were with me and can verify what happened. This has actually happened a couple of times before, but never when entering freeway! The first time it happened was 2010 and i called dealer right after incident,(actually shut jeep off and called right away), don't think they believed me. Jeep also feels like it is going to stall (more often this year), especially at lights, have to give it gas while waiting. I mentioned this also at last oil change at dealer, nobody seems to think there is a problem. After hearing about incidents with 2011 and 2012 models i thought i should document mine as may be same problem. |
