Description of the problem | Throttle has stuck on full throttle 2 times while accelerating on city street. The only way to slow vehicle down was to put transmission in neutral and apply brakes hard. Very scary situation! Other owners have had the sane problem. *dt consumer stated other owners have told me they have experienced stuck throttles also. 2017/2018 jeep cherokee srt with 6. 4 litre hemi engine and 2018 jeep grand cherokee trackhawk with supercharged 602 hellcat hemi engine. I know of one person that has filed a claim with the nhtsa. I've attached 2 pictures of my throttle pedal and floor mat. When fully depressed it does not touch the floor mat. I pushed on it a hundred times and it did not stick. I do not believe the floor mat is the problem. I had it at the dealer and they could find nothing wrong. Very scared to drive.
