 Description of the problemWas traveling in our 3 week old 2014 jeep wrangler 2 door automatic in central california. Heading west on a remote two lane highway in approx. 84 degree dry conditions. Speed limit in this area is 55. I came upon a farm truck who was traveling at approx. 45-50 mph. When conditions were safe, i pulled into the oncoming lane and proceeded to accelerate very hard to pass the farm vehicle in a safe distance. The cruise control was on but was currently not in use. As i was almost around the farm vehicle i took my foot off the gas but the vehicle continued to accelerate at full throttle. I first viewed the road ahead of me to see if it was clear while at the same time i stomped on the brake. I also turned the cruise control completely off. An error message flashed on the dash however due to the circumstances i did not see what it indicated. The braking helped but as soon as i took the foot off the brake it continued to accelerate at full throttle. I would estimate that the jeep reached a speed of 100 when this happened. I then prepared to place the vehicle in neutral but first reached and grabbed the floor mat and yanked it as hard as i could to pull it away from the gas pedal as i was still unsure of what was happening. The issue felt more like an electronic issue then a gas pedal caught on a floor mat. However this did seem to stop the sudden acceleration. Once home i verified that i could not see in any way how the floor mat would hold down the gas pedal as the gas pedal snaps back with quite a bit of force when pushing the floor mat in front of the pedal. This very well may have been caused by the floor mat however i would like to document what happened.
