Consumer Description

UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE IDLING, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY ENGINE STARTED TO WILDLY ACCELERATE. I HELD THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE REAR WHEELS STARTED SPINNING AND BURNING RUNNER AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS 'JUMPING'. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED IT MOMENTS LATER IT WAS FINE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY JEEP DEALER IN MT KISCO NY BUT THEY COULDN'T IND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HASN'T DONE IT AGAIN. THERE WAS NOTHING JAMMING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING ON IT'S OWN. *TR
