Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | My vehicle instantaneously picked up speed while i was coming to a stop; my foot was not on the gas pedal. A quick jerking motion of the steering wheel happened quickly with the acceleration. This caused me to press much harder on my brakes to stop my vehicle from hitting a car in front of me. This is a dangerous and very scary problem and i am grateful to not have caused harm to anyone. My gas consumption varies because of the required pedal pressure sometimes needed to accelerate since the gears seem not to switch over as they should. Also, my radio has been blacking out, turning off and on, and failing to work at all. Have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow for what was explained to me as a needed "software update." this is a new truck. My jeep has not yet made it to the required miles for its first oil change. (sigh). |
