What owners wrote
Incident: while stopping in traffic with the foot firmly on the brake my jeep had an unintended acceleration causing a rear in crash. This unintended acceleration happen before on a trip to tennessee in june but was thought to be the floor mat which now is known not to be the case. ( both were witnessed by the passenger) these incidents and complaint were given to chrysler regarding the experience with the vehicle accelerating and surging.
Was traveling in our 3 week old 2014 jeep wrangler 2 door automatic in central california. Heading west on a remote two lane highway in approx. 84 degree dry conditions. Speed limit in this area is 55. I came upon a farm truck who was traveling at approx. 45-50 MPH. When conditions were safe, I pulled into the oncoming lane and proceeded to accelerate very hard to pass the farm vehicle in a safe distance. The cruise control was on but was currently not in use.
