Description of the problem	Unintended acceleration: bought a 2018 jeep wrangler rubicon on 14 may 2018. On 15 may 2018, i brought it to the car wash. After pulling out of the car wash onto to adjacent road, vehicle accelerated without any interaction from myself. I pressed the brakes and the vehicle continued to rev the engine as i released the brakes, the vehicle continued to accelerate. I continued to tap and them slam the brakes to bring the vehicle to a halt. On the vehicle screen, it indicated something along the lines of "electronic throttle requires service" and had the icon for the "stop-start" feature as disabled with an exclamation point. After getting the vehicle under control and out of traffic, i was able to cycle the engine by powering off. The problem did replicate. But i brought it directly to the dealership, where they diagnosed faults (but unaware of those faults.) i received poor service from gator chrysler jeep who said they'd look at it but it was most likely a cruise control issue (not true as the vehicle started under 20 mph and tapping the brakes did not stop the acceleration.) vehicle is currently being examined at boniface-hiers jeep.
