Lately when I知 accelerating from a stop light, I値l get up to around 35 mph and it feels like the breaks are coming on and slow me down to 20 then all the sudden it stops and I can drive normally. Can anyone identify this issue?

Are you sure your calipers aren't sticking? One way to tell is to drive around, then come to a stop on level ground. Then lift your foot off the brake and see if the Jeep moves forward under the power of idle only. If you have a manual trans, stop on a very slight incline, then release the brake and see if you roll.

Are the RPMs dropping?

I'd be surprised if this is the issue, but there have been a couple instances of a caliper bolt falling out, and I witnessed one while driving the TransAmerica Trail a couple years back. Check the bolts that mount the caliper brackets. My friend lost one and that allowed the caliper to rotate, grinding into the disk, acting like brakes were being applied. You can see that at about 9:45 on this video ...

Does it pull to one side or brake evenly? I’d go out with an infrared thermometer on board and make a run then shoot all four corners to find out which is hotter than the rest. Once you’ve narrowed it down it’ll be easier to concentrate your efforts on diagnosing just one end or corner. Last time I had a problem like this it turned out to be a collapsed rubber hose on a front caliper. But that’s certainly not the only possibility.
