With my foot completely off the accelerator, the vehicle spontaneously accelerates under certain conditions. While in standard or sport mode, in second gear going about 20mph, there is a reproducible rpm surge that causes the vehicle to lunge forward. This somewhat feels like being rear ended.

I was slowly backing into a driveway when the jeep grand cherokee suddenly accelerated on its own. I repeatedly hit the brake pedal but the jeep wouldn't stop; instead it kept going faster. It smashed into the garage door and the brick wall of the garage, demolishing them. The jeep was brand new with only 500 miles driven, and it was equipped with a complete safety package that should have automatically stopped it…

It dragged the cement block about 20-25 ft. I continued to press the brake and after about 40 ft, the vehicle came to a stop. I…
