Wow.
What did you do to get it to act up when you showed the shop forman, that he couldnt get it to do it?

Probably actually drove it.

This seems electronic. Just out of curiosity, have you gotten the Jeep to do this with the doors on and the harnesses plugged in? I know my auto gets finicky when the door is slightly ajar.

It looks more like traction control kicking in for no reason. That’s what my BMW looks like when I floor it on ice.

You are probably knocking on the door of a lemon law issue. How many attempts have they had so far and how many days has it been at the dealer? What is the current mileage?
I’d probably start talking to a regional FCA rep about that and see if they will offer a buyback.

i would ask that the they replace the ECU. i bet that fixes it . When you 'floor' it your are simply telling the ECU to process the command to open the throttle and feed more fuel. It could be that the ECU is not commanding the fuel pump to deliver enough fuel sometimes and that could be the reason they think its a fuel pump or line. perhaps they read the fuel pressure during such episodes and saw it drop. there is no way that i can think of that a fuel line would cause that problem intermittently.
bottom line, its in the electronics somewhere. if the car was 'jerking' or 'shaking' during such times i would think it would be a loose ground wire to the ECU. but it doesnt appear so.
folks need to have the right perspective on dealership garages. i doubt the mechanics go through any kind of intensive training on individual cars. they most likely get a car, it has a problem and they use whatever skill they have used in the past to diagnose the problem (along with some expensive diagnostic equipment). once you get outside their experience with problems it becomes a hit or miss process, especially if the problem doesnt happen all the time.
i deal with computers all the time (i build the systems i use). when you get a new system, motherboard, cpu, memory, on board chips and ports, and os, its not uncommon to have weird problems. the way to debug such problems is the swap out and eliminate individual components until the problem goes away. so i would start with the ecu and then if it persists, starting look at sensors/connections to the engine and they work my way into chassis electronics.
