| 1987 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL | 1. ACCELERATOR STICKS INTERMITTENTLY, HAVE TO RESTART JEEP SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO IDLE DOWN. IF I AM TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL ACCELERATE BY ITSELF UP TO 3500 RPM MAKING BRAKING DIFFICULT. HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART JEEP UNTIL IT UNSTICKS ITSELF. 2. HAVE NOTICED REALLY LOOSE FRONT END FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT IT FROM DEALER. I REPLACED A TRACKING ARM AND FRONT SHOCKS, NOW IT IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE AT LOW SPEED TURNS, I READ UNDER NHTSA DEFECTS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS STEERING PROBLEM. *AK |
