Two times this weekend my throttle has failed to work properly.
First, going down the road, started to slip a little on ice, traction control kicked in. Then I lost all throttle until I came to a complete stop and took it out of gear. Put it back into gear and throttle worked again. Thus was bad as a had an xj behind me, and then a semi behind him. Was able to pull to the shoulder without incident luckily.
Then today we were out attempting to ended an orv park, but it had several feet of snow. So we more of less played around in the entrance area for a bit. I let my girl drive around (she is experienced) and she went to back out of a little snow bank and all of a sudden the Jeep went full throttle and held, I watched as she took her foot off the gas and was pushing the brake hard. she was yelling "it won't stop, it won't stop" then smash we slammed into a parked tj with very little time to take action. Driver was in it, luckily no one was hurt.
Something is seriously messed up with my jk. I have only 3500 miles on it.
Idk if something happened because it was cold. Near 0* temps and much under with wind chill. First incident was prior to any wheeling and the accident was after playing in a bit of snow. I'm fairly certain that insurance with total out the guys tj. I feel terrible and my girl is a wreck over it. Even tho she and everyone else knows it wasn't fault of her own.
