| My father's jeep liberty turbo diesel automatically & randomly accelerated on its own about 2-3 days on his way to work (similar to the toyota situation). the jeep on-board computer threw up an engine fault code. when he took the car to the jeep dealership, they said his accelerator pedal module was bad and made my dad pay over $300 to get it replace. the jeep had under 50k miles on it and it should be against the law to make customer pay to repair a car that speeds up on its own. are we the only people who have had this problem with a jeep (chrysler) product? we have reciepts for the repairs and it should have documented the engine fault code that jeep discovered. | |||
