problem #58

Grand Cherokee

  • miles
Had vehicle in "park" standing in front of vehicle by garage for at least 5 minutes when noticed Jeep going down the driveway and chased after but got across street to tree along curb and crashed into. Jeep was in "reverse" when got into and then drove into driveway and was able to recreate after calling insurace co and police dept. Sat inside put in drive, then park without it locking completely, saw orange indicator in window in "park" and had air conditioning running along with radio on. Waited awhile and saw it slowly move down into "reverse" and start rolling until I hit the brakes. The Jeep dealership in town is unable to recreate or see a problem when I took in to have them look at of course but I feel after seeing articles that this is a serious issue that should be handled before more serious injuries occur.
