Consumer Description

At a speed of 30mph, was slowing down coming up to a red light, as the brakes were being pressed the motor began to rev up and try to accelerate despite me fully pressing the brakes. I had to put the vehicle in neutral and shut it down. I merely missed hitting another vehicle. I called the dealer who had no information for me. No warning lights were on or prior to the reving and acceleration of the vehicle as I was trying to come to a stop at a red light. I am reading numerous forums of Jeep owners reporting the same issue. This really should be investigated before someone is seriously injured or killed, which maybe there have been reports of such already. In my case, there was no injury or damage because I was lucky enough to have no vehicle beside me and had a place to vere off to to pull over quickly. If that hadn’t been the case, an accident would have occurred. I can’t say if this vehicle has malfunctioned like this previously because I purchased 2 days ago.
