I punched it once thinking ACC would release the brake. It started braking again and I gave it a harder push. At which point ACC had shut off and then the death limp mode kicked in while I was still trying to throttle up.
That's my post detailing what happened in my case...
So... this thread got quiet... is this still happening to you guys?
Guess what! It just happened to me on my way to the dealer.
Driving along at 77mph in electric mode then 76... 75... 74...73... I "gave it more gas" and nothing. All the way down to 70 mph then it dropped out of electric mode and into hybrid mode and the ICE came on. I didn't see a warning message about Electric mode being unavailable though.
All the details:
Saturday I swapped my wheels/tires out for Rubicon 392 take offs which are about an inch taller than the stock Sahara 4xe wheels/tires. During this drive, shortly before I dropped out of electric mode, my TPMS light came on and I lost connection with my sensors (not the original ones that came with my Jeep but the ones in the new wheels). I had also been chugging along at 77mph for about 6 miles or so.
When I took my little road trip to pick up my new wheels and tires, something similar happened. After about 6 or 7 miles (maybe a little more) of chugging along at 75-80 mph I stopped at a light. When I started back up, the Jeep dropped itself into Hybrid mode and the ICE fired up. It stayed on for the remained of the battery instead of shutting back down after a few moments. This was on the stock tires.
Both times I had been driving along at 75-80 for several miles prior to the drop out of Electric mode. It was very hot out this afternoon, but not so much Saturday morning so I don't think heat played a part. I did not see the "Electric mode not currently available" message either time.
Personally, I'm leaning toward "working as intended" and the system recognizing longer sustained high speeds and deciding that hybrid is the better option, or that such driving sometimes puts a strain on the electric side of things that push it out of parameters for allowing electric only operation.
