The contact owns a 1989 jeep cherokee. While placing the vehicle in reverse, it immediately accelerated to 22 mph out of the driveway. The contact had to place both feet on the brake pedal in order to seize the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
The report which came back to me on this problem was numbered, campaign id #90v177000. The failed part is "the throttle position sensor". When i called the dealer they said that the chrysler corp. Had to provide this recall, but according to the recall history on this particular vehicle, theres been a few. What i'd like to know is if i can get these problems or problem fixed before it becomes an accident, by that i mean that the engine keeps racing after i start it, i had the idle motor replaced at 179.00 dollars and its still racing or idling fast. Thank you.
