2008 jeep grand cherokee 3.0l diesel
engine racing
my 2008 jeep with 3.0l diesel is basically running it self, I have to drive with my foot on the brake to slow it down. It goes into race mode when I am in parking lots trying to park, I have to keep my foot on the brake so I don't go through anything, it happens in reverse as well. Very scary and mechanic doesn't seem to know what is going on with it. Any help would be appreciated, as I am afraid to drive it. Thanks

Leaking turbo oil seal is my first guess. Your engine is treating the oil it is getting as fuel, and there's no control over it.
What's your oil level?
BTW, you might try a jeep forum too...
