problem #2

Jul 012016

Grand Cherokee

  • 650 miles
The vehicle lost all acceleration...on a highway...in a tunnel...surrounded by large trucks. The vehicle coasted out of the tunnel and made it to the nearest siding. No buttons were pushed and the controls where not touched. Both hands were on the wheel during the trip through the tunnel. Once pulled over, it was discovered that the engine was on, but did not respond to the pedal. Turning off and restarting the vehicle allowed the pedal to function again. This was purchased brand new only two and half weeks prior. This vehicle was brought to two dealers and has been with them for the past two weeks. The problem can not be diagnosed, so no repair was completed by Chrysler. I expect this dangerous event to reoccur. I do not feel safe in this particular vehicle and will not drive it. Chrysler has only offered words of consolation.
