The vehicles was taken to don jackson and landmark and liithia springs chrysler jeep and no one to this point has repaired it.

“When stepping on the throttle to quickly merge into traffic it delays a few seconds and after removing foot off gas pedal it continues to accelerate and sticks for a few seconds. Which requires me to brake. This is Not SAFE!! The dealer has never heard of this problem but it is listed online as a problem.”
