I was in the parking lot of a Porsche repair shop and was fully aware of all the expensive cars around. I was very careful as I put my car in reverse. Suddenly, my Jeep sped across the parking lot in reverse at full throttle. The breaks didn't work and the car wouldn't stop until it smashed into a Porsche cayman and totaled it.

Grand Cherokee 8-cyl

  • 6,000 miles
Occasionally, when coming to a stop and down shifting, a loud thud is heard and felt, almost as if the transmission clicked into the wrong part of the gear. It also happens occasionally when taking off from a stop. It is difficult to replicate. It was replicated in front of a service representative at the dealer, and was brought in twice for repair, and software was updated and the tranny software flashed, however the problem still occurs.
