While driving and speeding up to switch lanes, the accelerator pedal was floored alone and the car took off speeding. I attempted to tap on the accelerator pedal but that did not work so i then pumped the brakes a few times before it slowed down. I was driving about 25 mph before attempting to switch lanes and when the pedal got stuck the speed went up to 60 mph.

Prior to the incident, my jeep felt as if it were having trouble switching between gears. It felt jerky, if you will. While traveling along i-95 on the east coast of florida, my jeep (twice) slipped gear and appeared to have gone into neutral. If you know the area, it's not the ideal place for this to happen. Since returning to the west coast of florida, it has happened once. I've taken to a shop for a tune-up and…

The check engine light would come on and the car would jerk at high speeds on the freeway, it even powered down completely on the freeway after reaching a high of 65pmh. The car would make strange grinding noises and lose power steering also.

For a few months now & without warning: the dashboard lights, tachometers, heater, and headlights flicker on/off, then go completely off. Then if applying the brakes, there is a ferocious grinding noise and loss of steering. Engine seems to slow down or not want to shift to next gear while driving. All this happens when there is flickering. Seems to happen at random but getting worse. Check engine light stays on for…

I bought the jeep in feb. 2013 and shortly thereafter, while driving on the interstate, the car just shut itself off and everything went dead. This has happened about 2 dozen times since, sometimes going fast and sometimes going slow or pulling into an intersection. There doesn't seem to be a factor that causes it to happen and the mechanic cannot find anything wrong but it is very dangerous. *tr

While driving my 2006 grand cherokee the vehicle will switch into neutral on it's own. This has occurred while stopped at lights, while driving at 70 mph, so on and so forth. The check engine light reads "shift control module" and this has been replaced twice and has not been cheap. When this occurs, the dash board lights light up around all gears (park, reverse, neutral, and drive.) i have had to pull off onto the…

While driving my vehicle suddenly shifted gears and coasted as if it were in neutral while rpms shot up to 3,000. It then suddenly lunged forward and picked up speed. The check engine light came on. After a day or so, the light would go off. Within the time frame of approx 3 weeks, this had occurred at least 3 times. It was very scary to have it change gears and not be able to maintain speed and suddenly speed up…
