Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER FOR 10 MONTHS. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST TEN MONTHS, WHEN STOPPED AND THEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FULLY WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL OR LAUNCH CONTROL ENGAGED, THE THROTTLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT IS REMOVED FULLY FROM THE GAS PEDAL. IT FORCES YOU TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND BRAKE UNTIL THE THROTTLE BECOMES "UNSTUCK" AND THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE COME BACK DOWN. I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT OR SOMETHING AROUND THE PEDAL OR PEDAL MECHANISM WAS CAUSING THE PEDAL TO BE STUCK BUT THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY MECHANICAL INTERFERENCE. I HAVE READ FROM OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE HIGH PERFORMANCE TRIMS (SRT AND TRACKHAWK) OF THE GRAND CHEROKEE. AGAIN CRUISE CONTROL AND LAUNCH CONTROL WERE NOT ACTIVATED IN ANY WAY. I KNOW THERE WAS A CRUISE CONTROL RECALL FOR THROTTLE STICKING BUT THIS IS NOT BEING OBSERVED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET OR ON. IS THIS PERHAPS A RELATED ISSUE ??
