When placing the shifter into park from the drive position it will at times hang at either the neutral or reverse setting even though the shift handle was pushed far forward to engage park. Sometimes to separate attempts are needed to cycle the transmission to park. I have experienced times when the vehicle will roll backward slowly while in N or aggressively while in reverse. Extraordinary care must be exercised to insure safety. This is the worst shifter I have ever dealt with in 45 years of car ownership.

Gear shifter does not move fluidly and often it is unclear as to which position the shifter is actually engaged. It has occurred that when I think it is in park, it is actually in neutral. I actually pushed the start/stop engine button thinking the car had shut off when in fact it was in neutral and was still running. Had I not noticed this at the last moment the car could have easily rolled into parking lot traffic. This also has occurred when parking in my garage.

Electronic transmission shifter is difficult to use. I have owned this vehicle for 3 weeks and have already unintentionally had my vehicle roll from a stopped position. In an attempt to place the vehicle in "park" from "drive, " the vehicle was accidentally shifted into "reverse" due to poor operator friendliness compared to traditional shifters. Shifting the vehicle from "neutral" has also not registered correctly on occasions due to prerequisites to shift out of that gear (foot on brake and button held down). The shifter release button has very poor feedback and is difficult to use as well.

Electronic shifter does not properly select gear and/or provide tactile feedback regarding which gear has been selected. I have almost left the vehicle while it was still in drive mode thinking it was in park. I feel this is a huge safety concern and warrants a recall.

I went to place the gear selector into park but it didn't go in and I didn't realize it wasn't in park. I went to get out to grab something and it rolled backwards into my garage door. It dented the garage door and luckily only did that as damage. I was able to get my foot onto the brake before it went any further.

I moved my Jeep on the driveway, and believe I placed it in park with the engine on while going back in the house. When I returned outside less then one minute later, the Jeep was rolling down the hill backwards. It went straight down the driveway backwards, across the street, and into the rear of a car parked across the street. I believe it totaled the other vehicle and did approximately $1300 damage to the Jeep. I did not file a police report, but there was an insurance claim against my insurance for the damage done to the other vehicle. I did not submit a claim for my own insurance as there was a $1,000 deductible. I just read an article in the paper that other people have been having similar problems where it is difficult to tell if the vehicle is in park. (the date of 9/1/2015 is estimated but can be confirmed)

Electronic gear shiftier not reliable. There is no feeling or sense of proper gear engagement. I sit each day and rev up engine thinking I have engaged drive mode. You never know when you have properly engaged park feature. I have gotten one leg out of car while auto starts moving.this electronic feature is unsafe. Otherwise this is the best new car I have ever owned. No accidents but I am extra careful with this gear shift. I will never buy another care with this innovation. The problem happens at startup and shutdown / exit mode. Scary to exit auto and someone notify you later that the auto engine is still running and in neutral. Mode. Jerry

Since I purchased my Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2014 I have had problems with my electronic gear shifter. Several times that I have stopped my car and thought I had placed it in park to go out side my vehicle it was not. Several times while exiting the car my leg was dragged bending it backwards that resulted in a bruise. One time I actually had to chase after my car as it lurched forward. This is a very serious issue. Just pushing the shifter forward does not always place the car in park. Something must be done. Dealer said there was no problem and they could not replicate the problem. I now have to double check the gear shift display to be sure that the car is in park

On approximately 10 occasions in the past 18 months, I have almost left the vehicle after attempting and thinking it was in park. The shift level is incredibly dangerous.

My wife placed the car in park and took her foot off the brake and the vehicle continued forward and hit a pole at about 2-3 miles per hour. The front license plate and plate holder were damaged but more importantly it now makes her afraid to drive the car because this is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened.

Jeep Grand Cherokee has rolled while in park. It was parked on a grade each time, but not steep enough for the transmission not to hold. Most recently, it was parked on a slight grade, on ice, with the parking brake on. The vehicle suddenly rolled down the driveway (with the rear wheels parking break engaged but sliding on ice, and the front wheels freely rolled). The vehicle was in park, parking brake engaged, and vehicle was turned off.
