Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING UP TO A RED LIGHT, STOPPED AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO REVVE UP ALL BY ITSELF. I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE ,I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, PUT IN PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THIS HAPPENED AFTER MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AROUND 5000 MILES. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AND IT DROVE FINE. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD THE OIL CHANGED. THE ATTENDANT HOOKED THE VEHICLE UP TO A COMPUTER CHECK AND NOTHING SHOWED UP. I DROVE WITHOUT ANY ISSUES UNTIL AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE, I DROVE FROM PHOENIX TO PRESCOTT AZ. I TOOK THE EXIT TO PRESCOTT AND SLOWED DOWN TO 35 WHEN I GOT TO MAYER AZ, I STEPPED ON THE GAS AFTER GOING THROUGH TOWN TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 40 MPH WITH MY FOOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK. I LET IT SIT AND STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WENT AGAIN, I CAME UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I PROCEEDED TO GO IT STARTED REVVING AGAIN. I MADE IT THROUGH THE STOP LIGHT AND PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. SINCE I RESTARTED IT AND AM BACK IN PHOENIX I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES YET. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH JEEPS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS, NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU
