The contact owns a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While driving at various speeds after disengaging the accelerator and brake pedals, the vehicle accelerated without any control. The vehicle shifted into different gears independently without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted.

problem #2

Dec 182014

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 2,500 miles
Third time of incident. While parallel parking, and shifting from reverse into drive, while foot is still on the brake the vehicle revs and lurches forward. 1st 2 times involved parking on snow/ice. Today, with a dry street and sneakers, vehicle began to rev. I attempted to shift into park to avoid lurching forward but failed to do so in time. When vehicle revs, I hold onto steering wheel and press brake with all my strength but unable to prevent the forward movement.

problem #1

Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

  • 1,200 miles
I was driving down the road, with my foot steady on the gas, and the transmission shifted hard (8 speed automatic) and lunged my car forward without any pressure on the gas pedal. Then it continued to shift hard and lunge until I reached and maintained 40 mph ( in which my Jeep put the transmission into 8th gear at a steady 1000 RPM). This has happened multiple times since, and sometimes when I remote start the Jeep, it will give off a very loud high pitched whining sound for about a minute, then stops.
