Hi all. This weekend, I had this happen to me twice on the hi-way, and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. And if I should be worried.
I was driving on the hi-way, and hit the gas to get up a fairly large hill (to maintain speed, as the jeep was slowing down in cruise control). As I got up to speed, and let off the gas, the rpm's just shot up to 5000. This happened to me twice, I hit the brakes, and it did not stop right away.
There were no warning lights, and the jeep seems to drive alright. This only happened on large hills.
Thoughts or advice from anyone?

This probably happened if you have an auto., had it in cruise control and climbing a grade. It's not really what a JK can do well under that circumstance. On a steep grade I would keep the cruise off and the auto out of O/D. I think you confused your electronics believe it or not.

Thats what happened the first time, and the second time, it was not in cruise control.
It did not gear down, the revs went real high, and the jeep kept speeding up.
Stupid electronics.

I don't know if this helps but I had a chevy pickup that did something similar. Like it didn't want to shift back up. If I let off gas and then give it a bump it would shift up. Hope this helps.
