2003 Jeep Liberty Vehicle speed control Problems

“While driving on i684 the accelerator got stuck at 60 MPH, I could not stop the car. I got off the exit try to slow down the car, went throught the stop sign, pulled over and had to shut the car off while in drive to stop it. I brought it to the dealership, and was told nothing is wrong with the car. I have 1 more year left on the lease and chrysler will not take me out of the lease.”

“While traveling rt. 36 about 10 miles south of roaring springs, pa my 2003 Jeep Liberty suddenly accelerated and I had no braking control. I swerved across the 2 lane highway onto the berm, for fear of hitting oncoming traffic. I lost all steering control that I later found to be a broken tie rod on the right front. The vehicle continued in a circular manner at an excessive speed and with two feet pressing on the brake. I could not stop. Eventually the vehicle went over a stone embankment and fell about 15 feet and finally came to rest on a plateau just above a creekbed. …”

“I was coming to a complete stop at a speed of 30 MPH and had my foot on the brake. The engine continued to accelerate while I was pressing as hard as I could on the brake. The car lurched far enough forward to hit the bumper of the car in front of me. This is the second of two occurrences. The first was similar in nature. I was exiting the freeway after having the speed control activated. I was coming to a stop-the vehicle violently accelerated and lurched unexpectedly into the intersection. Luckily, no other car was present. …”

“I have a Jeep Liberty limited 2003 leased on october 2002. Ive had to bring the vehicle in for service seven times for the same problem and the dealer has not repaired it. The problem is that while driving at speeds anywhere from 30 - 65 and while trying to accelerate from a complete stop the vehicle will start to buck and hesitate, the speedometer will swing back and forth and the vehicle suddenly loses speed and then regains it. I've almost been hit by another vehicle on the palisades parkway on three separate occasions. …”

“Three car crashes since october 2004. All between 5-15 MPH. All where rear-end collisions by my vehicle. Did not make any connection between the three accidents until the third accident yesterday when I rear-ended a car. From a stopped position I was approximately one and a half car lengths behind a vehicle. The car in front moved forward but stopped, I did the same, but my car continued to accelerate even though I slammed on the brakes. In all three accidents it seemed my car continued to acccelerate even though I had room for the brakes to prevent these accidents. …”
