| Description of the problem | Pulling away from a stoplight the plastic gas pedal snapped off - resulting in the inability to accelerate out of the intersection. I purchased a replacement from the local jeep dealership that same week - and this has just occurred again (february 22nd 2013). This past time i was pulling out of a parking lot and the gas pedal snapped again. I am not an aggressive driver. There must be a flaw in this design. |
