2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Cruise Control Problems

Vehicle unexpectedly accelerated on its own while I was braking. Had I not been breaking, I would’ve gotten in a car accident. Even letting off the brake slightly caused the vehicle to jerk forward quickly and aggressively until I slammed on the brake again.

I was sitting outside of my garage door waiting for it to fully open, I had my foot on the brake and the rpms of my car maxed out and my car went forward through my garage and into my living room. I never once touched the accelerator and tried braking with both feet and my car would not stop. There are burn out marks left throughout my garage where you can see I was holding the brake.

I was stationary(in "park' mode), sitting in my vehicle making a bank transaction at the drive thru at wells fargo located at 505 round rock ave, round rock, tx. Suddenly the jeep accelerated on it's own, I pressed the brakes and it wouldn't stop. See also odi 11140468.

We were using cruise control in our new jeep. As we were approaching a red traffic light, we tried to disengage the cruise control by using the brake. The vehicle would not stop.

Had the ABS Module repaired due to recall last week. Next, I have had 3 instances of the Accelerator sticking when shifting gears and, this never happened before this service.

The contact owns a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle started hesitating and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and the mechanic had the vehicle towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The throttle body wiring was replaced, and the codes were reset. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and it was suggested that the vehicle needed to be retested. The vehicle was repaired again. The contact stated that after retrieving the vehicle from the dealer, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle accelerated independently while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop. The contact made a left turn into a parking lot and the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stopped the vehicle and had the vehicle towed back to the dealer where the vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.

Afternoon 28/11/2022. On I275 North near Exit 50. Tha cruise control turned on and the car started speeding up.

Driving on the street -jefferson blvd. On my way home and my excelarator pedal was stuck and could not stop the car and hit large escalade in front of me, thank god for that. His car was barely scrathed and mine ended up $6,500 in repairs less $1,000 deductible.

Parking my 2018 jeep grand cherokee laredo in a parking lot. My foot was on the break and I was getting ready to shift jeep into park when the jeep suddenly accelerated forward hitting a building. Took jeep to dealership and they have been trying recreate this.

Throttle has stuck on full throttle 2 times while accelerating on city street. The only way to slow vehicle down was to put transmission in neutral and apply brakes hard. Very scary situation!

On occasion, when the accelerator pedal is pushed all of the way to the floor, it would get stuck under the floor mat. This has happened on more than one occasion. It is very dangerous when it happens because the vehicle is at full throttle and the brakes will not overcome the engine.

When using cruise control and pushing the brake to disengage the cruise control, the car slows down until my foot is removed from the brake. It then speeds forward instantly until I brake again and hit cancel for cruise control. This has happened numerous times on regular pavement going forward.
