I've got 2021 Sport S manual transmission with just over 1,000 miles and from time to time when I'm in 1st gear or have just shifted into 2nd it "accelerates" without much or any throttle. I've only had it happen when I drive after being parking overnight and it doesn't happen every time.
Here's an example; there's a bunch of road work happening around my house so lots of very rough road and obstacles so I'm going pretty slow, I'll pull out of my drive way and hit revs to shift into 2nd so I make the shift and when the clutch gets fully released the Jeep basically takes off like I'm on the throttle but I'm either giving it very little gas or none at all. By the time I've made a couple of shifts between 1st and 2nd getting out of my neighborhood it stops doing it. I've almost wrecked a couple of times when I've shifted into 2nd right before making a turn and then it just takes off on me and there are cars parked on a narrow street and it jumps forward on me pretty hard.
Any thoughts on this? Thanks
