Wrangler

  • 19,000 miles
For at least the third time, while off road jeeping in 4 wheel low, our Jeep 2006 lj rubicon self accelerated on its own. Once again, we roared into a tree before we could put the car in neutral or remove the key. (link to video:) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?V=10204011339395600&set=O.261401957266994&type=2&theater after we bought the Jeep in 2009, the previous owner told us that he had experienced some self acceleration. He had it investigated by the original dealership, then took it to another Jeep mechanic and contacted Chrysler, who denied that there was a problem. We participate in Jeep jamborees and have experienced the problem and have tried to address it after receiving advice from various guides and mechanics at the jamborees. We have had two Jeep mechanics attempt solutions and we have even replaced the computer but the problem persists. Once again, we roared into a tree.
