“Electronic throttle control lite comes on randomly when starting or driving locks the car in limp mode then ABS lite comes on and the car shakes till you stop and turn it off. When the car is in limp mode you can only get the RPM's up to 2000. Car went from 60mph to 30 MPH in about 100 yards on the highway. We have only owned the Jeep four months.”
