Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! The throttle hesitation, surging, and limp mode behavior could be pointing toward a throttle body issue, a software calibration problem, or a sensor fault and Jeep has had some known issues with electronic throttle control on this generation. The handbrake squeak when going in and out of park is a separate concern worth noting as well. Restarting temporarily fixing things is a classic sign of an intermittent fault the computer keeps catching. Check with your Jeep dealer to see if your vehicle still has any warranty coverage remaining since that could save you some money on this one. Either way visit RepairPal.com to find a trusted shop that can dig into both issues and get things sorted out!
