NHTSA Complaint #10395235 — 2007 JEEP LIBERTY

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL - LOOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, ROUGH IDLE AND SLOW POWER (JERKY STARTS WHEN OCCURS DURING CASUAL DRIVING). THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSAL DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS. WHEN THIS OCCURS ON THE FREEWAY, RPM'S GO ABOVE 3000 WHEN ONLY GOING 60...CAR SPUTTERS AND FEELS LIKE IT COULD JUST STOP, ENGINE RUNS HIGH AND IF YOU ACCELERATE, IT IS SLOW TO CATCH AND STARTS JERKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES EVEN AFTER BEING SEEN BY THE DEALER 6 TIMES AND SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED". I FEAR THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE JERKY ACCELERATION AND SLOW RESPONSE TO ACCELERATION IT IS POSSIBLE OTHER VEHICLES COULD BE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE AND REAR END MY VEHICLE. *TR
