1 Car Accelerates On Its Own problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2019

Jeep acceleration from a stop is inconsistent. This concern is worse when accelerating from a slow speed. Upon initially applying light pressure to the gas pedal, there is no response, but then the vehicle lurches ahead aggressively and in an unexpected manner. This is counter-intuitive as the vehicle is equipped with etorque, which is electronically applied torque to assist acceleration. This system is to instantly apply torque to the drivetrain via secondary battery power - but if that was working as expected, one would seemingly not experience the initial delay prior to the sudden acceleration. The delayed and then lurching acceleration has resulted in near accidents - if driving in stop and go traffic, the lurching results in my rapid acceleration while drivers ahead of me may be stopping. Also, when attempting to merge into traffic from a stop or slow roll, the pause results in needing to slow or stop to wait for a better entry opportunity, but at that same moment, the acceleration kicks in. This is not performance that one would expect and is a less than optimal safety experience. I took the Jeep to the dealer for repair and their response was �the tech said he drove a 2 door 2. 0 liter over the weekend and it �did the same thing�, so it must be normal�. I stressed that not being an acceptable response to my request for assessment and repair. In response they �flashed� the software, but that did not correct the problem and the vehicle continues to demonstrate the same issue.
