2002 Jeep Liberty Owner Comments

problem #1

Dec 142002

Liberty 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 61,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

2002 Jeep Liberty spontaneously engaged in full acceleration. Vehicle reached 100 mph with no accelerator pedal influence or ability of brakes to decelerate. Put vehicle in neutral, rpms reached 7000 (maximum on tachometer) and I waited til vehicle reached 20 mph at which point I measured that I could safely shut off power and coast to a stop. Source of problem: Accelerator spring mechanism got stuck under nearby cable in full-throttle position.
