THIS JEEP IS UNPREDICTABLE BECAUSE IT ACCELERATES FOR NO EXPECTED REASON IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK ON A HIGH THROTTLE IDLE SPEED WHEN I FIRST TURN IT ON. I WOULD TURN IT ON AND IT WILL ACCELERATE AT VERY HIGH REVOLUTIONS , IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS GOING TO EXPLODE, SO I TURN IT OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND IT WILL DO THE SAME THING, I WILL TURN IT OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES AND MAYBE IT WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL IDLE SPEED, ALL THIS WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK. AND SOMETIMES I WILL TURN IT ON AGAIN AND IT TURNS ON LIKE NORMAL LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. IF I TURN IT ON AND ITS ACCELERATED AND I TAKE FOR A RIDE IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO TAKE OFF ON ME AND WHEN I STEP ON THE CLUTCH IT MAKES A HISSING NOISE. THIS PROBLEM SUCKS BEACUSE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE MACHANICS NOTHING SHOWS UP AS A PROBLEM ...BECAUSE IT IS UNPREDICTABLE WHEN ITS GOING TO DO IT. SO I LOOK LIKE THE FOOL TRYING TO SHOW THE MECHANIC WHAT IT MAY DO.
