“July 8, 2019 I was driving my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo on a busy highway in a construction area of the highway when Jeep started losing speed as if it had switched itself into neutral. I was in very heavy traffic when this happened. I managed to get Jeep out of the way of heavy traffic behind me. I waited about five minutes then turned the win key on and Jeep started up and I drove less than a mile Jeep started losing speed again barely moving. Managed to coast off to side of road. Waited again for about five minutes turn key on Jeep started up again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11241431, filed 2019-08, 127,054 miles“Shortly after I purchased the vehicle, as I was driving, the car would loose all ability to accelerate. It was like the car would drop into neutral for no apparent reason. The only way to correct this was to pull over and restart the car. I contacted the dealership, but was told they couldn't do anything about it unless the issue was occurring while in the service department. Since this issue could potentially create injury to me and cars behind me, I continued to alert the dealership service department on each event. …”
NHTSA complaint #10454213, filed 2012-04, 1,000 miles“Vehicle shifted from neutral and accelerated striking the side of the garage. Parking brakes would not engage, causing significant damage to the vehicle and garage. Air bags did not deploy. I believe this accident was caused by a pending Jeep recall. Nhtsa's # 13v175000.”
NHTSA complaint #10513235, filed 2013-05, 25,000 miles“While traveling on the express way at a steady speed of 70 MPH, without cruise control, the accelerator pedal moved suddenly away from the foot and stayed in the full gas position accelerating the car to well over 80 MPH. Attempts to return the pedal to a safe position failed. There was no floor mat interference of any kind and cruise control was not active that day because of excessive truck traffic. Only extraordinary braking slowed the car to allow squeezing between trucks on the right lane and eventually coming to a stop on the free way shoulder. …”
NHTSA complaint #10808783, filed 2015-12, 61,377 miles“My vehicle's cruise control (cc) lever has functions like; on-off, accelerate, decelerate, set, resume, cancel. The speed is set to the desired values by pressing the lever up (accelerate) and down (decelerate). When the lever is released to its neutral position, the set speed is maintained until the next interruption. To deactivate the cc without erasing the set speed, driver has to tap on the brake pedal or pull the cc lever toward himself. In order to erase the set speed and deactivate the cc at the same time, the driver has to switch the cc to off position. …”
