Description of the problem | On occasion, when the accelerator pedal is pushed all of the way to the floor, it would get stuck under the floor mat. This has happened on more than one occasion. It is very dangerous when it happens because the vehicle is at full throttle and the brakes will not overcome the engine. I've resolved the problem in my vehicle by removing the floor mat. I called jeep cares and warned them of this problem and they said to take to a dealership to have it looked at. They've known about it for a couple of weeks. I'm reporting this with the hope that you will look into this and get a warning out before someone gets injured or killed. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). *cc *dt updated 10/29/18*jb |
