| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Yesterday i was sitting at a stop sign with my foot resting on the brake. i was not pressing the pedal actively, but the brakes were applied. the jeep surged forward. my foot was no where near the gas pedal, yet the jeep revved and moved about a foot. i pressed hard on the brake and it stopped, but took a second to rev back down. the engine was cold as it had not been started in 4 days and i was only about 1 minute into the drive. has anyone had this happen? anyone know the cause? the jeep is a 2005 rubicon, automatic. this has now happened 3 times. twice while the engine was cold, once while warm after an hour long drive. each time it occurred while the rpm load was very low. twice at a stop sign, once while pulling into my driveway. i posted on a rubicon message board to see if anyone had seen this and here are some of the responses: "when i pull into my drive, which has a slight incline and deep az rain gutters, if i slow enough to avoid slamming the bump stops i don't have enough momentum to make it all the way up. on the occasions that i try to idle up i have gotten the surge which launches me into the garage the first time i was stopped by my work bench saying hello to my brush guard" "yes, this has happened to me a few times. i have an 05 rubicon with an automatic transmission...." "i've been wondering about that. my '05 auto does the same thing, rear ended a car the first time it did it...." "mine will do that sometimes going up my driveway into the garage. i have to take it slow to get it lined up perfectly and that is when it happens..." "mine did this a few times a week after i bought it. had it to the dealer twice, they found no issues...." and a link to the post: http://www.rubiconownersforum.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=238239#238239 |
