| Description of the problem | Unintended acceleration / engine flare. Can be anticipated and vehicle movement prevented in 2 wheel drive, high range but will overpower brakes when in 4 wheel drive , low range. Occurrence not consistent or repeatable on demand but is frequent. Can occur with application (or release) of power brake, turning of steering wheel (power steering) or air condition cycling. When this happens in technical trail maneuvers (off road conditions in treacherous terrain) or in close proximity to trees, large rocks, abrupt drop-offs along road, the results are potentially deadly. No corrective action can be taken by any, non factory representative as this is a programming issue with the vehicle computer. This vehicle is not unique.
