| Description of the problem | 2009 jeep wrangler 2 door rubicon w/ 6 speed manual transmission. Deceleration problem. Vehicle will accelerate sporadically when descending long steep grades forcing driver to ride brakes to keep under control. This occurs when vehicle approaches approximately 2000 rpm. It feels like just a slight acceleration, however, it's enough to put the vehicle into a coasting situation with no engine braking whatsoever. This also occurs when slowing for a stop sign. Accelerator pedal is completely released and the vehicle just goes into a coast. This situation could lead to brake fade on a long steep grade and accelerated brake wear. I've had no satisfaction at dealer. All i was told is that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. |
