Cruise Control problems of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While the cruise control was engaged at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle erroneously accelerated to speeds above 90 mph. The vehicle slowed down after applying the brakes. When the brake pedal was released, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration again. The driver forced the transmission into the park position to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 245,247.

A few weeks/months after the purchase of my Jeep about 2 years ago, I noticed that my cruise control had stopped working and the abs light had come. I checked my fuses and relays and they were ok. Then a day or so later I was driving on the interstate and my check engine light and my brake lights came on. My Jeep then seemed to downshifted itself. It felt as if the transmission had locked up, it slowed to about 30mph and would not shift onto another gear. I pulled over killed the motor. After a few attempts to drive it, I turned the key over and noticed the break and engine lights were off so I attempted to drive home and was sucessfull. This started to happen more and more often. I noticed that it mainly happened when either I was running my ac or it was wet/raining outside. I then started researching Jeep problems and recalls. I came across the daminoncrysler recall no. 13. The recall had described the issue I was having, so I researched my VIN and it staled that the recall no. 13 has already been completed on Jeep. Now my Jeep is stuck in limp mode and will not reset. It will not shift and the abs, brake and engine lights stay on. Is there a way to find out exactly what service did they did when it was recalled in 2005 (if any)? I dont know what to do.

Loss of power while driving, wont shift, no cruise control, brake lights on, . This happens at lest one a week.

In my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee, while traveling on a congested road, approx. 25 mph, I took my foot off the gas to slow down. All of a sudden, the vehicle accelerated on its own. Luckily, foot was on the brake hard. I attempted to tap gas pedal with other foot several times while trying to fight through traffic without crashing. I attempted to ease up on brake pedal while trying to pull car over, tapping on cruise control button, making sure that was off. In a state of shock, I actually turned the ignition key off, but the vehicle remained going. Soon after, I was able to reach the side of the road with the vehicle still wanting to accelerate and foot still on brake. This terrorizing episode lasted for under a minute before it ended as suddenly as it started. Due to the shock, I didn't realize I should have put the car in neutral. After a few minutes, I drove the car home very slow and cautiously, still shaking. I did not notice gauges on dashboard at time of the incident. The next morning, the car was towed to dealership. Diagnostic testing, test driving. No codes, no incident replicated. Throttle system checked and cleaned. No diagnosis found, suggest to change floor mats. I have driven vehicle for four years, no complaints. This is the first incident which scared the heck out of me. Vehicle has 37,500 miles on it. Having to pay for diagnostics and towing, we still do not know if it will happen again. My wife and I are both scared! hopefully, it won;t repeat itself.

We have a safety issue with the adjustable gas pedal in our company car a 2005 Jeep. The problem is that the pedal adjustment has no indicator that lets you know that the pedal has been moved by another employee. Recently we had an event were an employee drove the car a long distance and did not know that the Jeep had an adjustable pedal. The employee complained that his foot cramped during the 300 mile trip and he did not know why. He was not aware of the adjustable pedal feature of the Jeep since there was no indicator light or gauge to let him know that the pedal had been set for a much shorter person. The employee also complained that during this trip he found himself driving faster than the speed limit and had to use cruise control to maintain his speed. . . Again he was not aware that the pedal had been moved closer to the driver and his normal position of his foot pushed the pedal down more then normal.
