While in motion, and with two separate god speedometers operating, my Jeep states that when in motion going approximately 50-60 mph, my keeps speedometer places me at over 100mph. This problem occurred a few days ago. I have even passed several chp officers on the road and have not been stopped when my speedometer was showing 105mph. Also, while pumping gas, it will not pump past halfway.
Electronic throttle control warning light appeared on 2 occasions, accompanied by sudden loss of power. One event occured in heavy highway traffic and nearly resulted in a multi-vehicle accident. Estimated speed was 60 mph. The other event occured while entering an intersection after signal light turned green. In both cases the loss of power self corrected after about 10 seconds. The vehicle has approximately 6000 miles on it, and I am the original owner....updated 09/14/17
The car operated well at first start. Early in the day, it drove 30+ miles. After being parked for 6+ hours in a flat public parking lot, it was turned on and put into reverse to back out of the stall. Upon lightly releasing the brake, the car accelerated at a high speed (approx 20mph) and hit a parking pillar. A large amount of damage was done to the back end, including bumper, hatch, safety reinforcement bar and floor board all had to be replaced.
