Description of the problem	Two recent events, when braking in slow traffic there was sudden acceleration with foot on brake. Even with stronger and forceful brake pressure the jeep was still moving and wanting to keep going with engine revving. Had to shift into neutral and then engine quit revving and things returned to normal. I have this jeep 10 years and am very familiar with it. Never any wrecks. No medical problems. The floor mat was not interfering with any pedals. The dealership was not aware of any recalls about this problem but they serviced the throttle-body after the first incident. This apparently was not the problem as the unintended acceleration when braking occurred a second time. In googling this problem a blog mentioned this could be the jeep brake-booster which has been recalled and was replaced on my jeep 2 years ago. Google brings up this sudden acceleration as a common search but no clear answers. I know about the toyota acceleration problem in the 1990's, that they never found or admitted anything mechanical and assumed it was granny using two feet. This is absolutely a mechanical problem with my 2011 jeep. Will take to dealership but they already said they aren't aware of this being a jeep defect. I registered this complaint with jeep customer care and they said if the dealership can't find the problem to call them back and they will work with the dealership to resolve this. They worrisome thing is they will do something for $1000 and then i have this brake/acceleration occur a 3rd time and it causes a crash!
