Two problems related to accelerator stuck have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 10/09/2020

My wife has had her gas pedal stick on her on three separate occasions, and I have had it stick on me once (10-4-20). The first time it did it to her was about a month or so ago, and then it did it to her twice this morning on her way to work (10-9-20). It seems to only do it under a hard acceleration. The pedal will drop to the floor, rpm will shoot up, and it will not disengage for a good 10 seconds or so. I have verified that the floor matt is not obstructing the path of the pedal. This seem sto be a common problem among the jk Jeeps, but nothing has been done about it.

2 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2018

My accelerator was stuck in acceleration mode once when passing a car and today when accelerating to merge onto the freeway and my cruise was not in nor was my foot on the accelerator.
