I have a 2008 Jeep Patroit Limited 4X4 4-cyl. My problem is at hwy speed 55-65 it will surge. You can watch the tack go forward than back. So far they have replaced both converters and now both 0/2 sensors. No improvement. Chysler has no answer, and the jeep dosen’t code. Also the weather needs to be about 77 or better. Really surges when it is hot outside. Any answers????
