Grand Cherokee 4WD 6-cyl

The contact owns a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While parked, the vehicle rolled backwards out of the driveway, drove over a retaining wall, and rested against a neighboring home. The door of the vehicle knocked the contact to the ground and caused minor back and wrist injuries. The gear position indicator failed, which caused the contact to believe that the vehicle was in park. The current and failure mileages were 114,000.
