Several issues with automatic gear select shifter: 1) I have had 2 roll-aways where the gear shift was firmly placed all the way forward, car left running to step out and load vehicle, car was not in park. 2) twice while driving car inexplicably shifts to neutral. Will not shift back into gear until vehicle is stopped, button on gear shifter is pushed, and then it will go into drive again. 3) I was in a challenging traffic situation where I needed to quickly move from drive to reverse, however I was able to engage park, neutral, and drive, however I could not easily find reverse. I ended up causing quite a traffic concern, and was flashed the blue lights by a policeman who asked if I was having problems, then moved me along with a frown. I have owned Jeep products for the last 5 years, and have had no issues until I bought this year's vehicle. The shift knob is a real problem. I am not a complainer, however this is a major safety issue. It terrifies me to drive this vehicle. I have gotten just lip service from the dealing, saying they can look at it when they get a chance, and maybe schedule me in later this month. This is unacceptable. Please help.

The operator was attempting to enter the vehicle while it was running and in park.

Transmission seems to hesitate when I initially start driving (as if it is struggling with the gear) then it jumps. Gear also appears to be at #5 when I am under 40mph. Does not feel right and just recently started doing this. Only has 5500 miles on it. Then it seems at times that the front headlights flicker while driving when it is dark out.

At 2:30 pm on October 30th 2015 I parked in a commercial lot. I left the vehicle to go into a store, when I came out of the store I realized the car was "running". I opened the door and reached around the steering wheel to turn the car off by pressing the start/stop button. I think proceeded to leave the vehicle to go to another store. When I came out of the 2nd store I saw my car had engaged into drive and moved over 50 feet across the parting lot and hit another vehicle. When I got to my car I found it running and in "drive". this all happened without anyone in the car. The car basically "ran away" without anyone in the vehicle.

Leased car on 9/4/2015. Someone at dealership had been driving it so it had 4800 miles when I got it. On 10/3/2015, got in car, started engine, shifted car into drive and it revved but didn't move. Service parking brake light came on. I hadn't touched the parking brake. Turned car off and on again. Same thing...car wouldn't shift into gear, then got "service transmission" message and check engine light. Repeated turning car on and off several times, shifting. No response. Turned car on, put in reverse. Heard a loud thunk and the car moved backward. Put in drive, heard a loud thunk again, and car moved sluggishly forward. Limped home, car not responding as normal to pressure of gas pedal, praying I got there without the car dying. Called service at 8 a.M. at 9:30 a.M., went to leave house to take car to dealership. Backed down the driveway, put car in drive, no response. I thought I had gone down my driveway in reverse, but it must have just rolled down since we live on a hill. I turned car off and on again, put car in reverse. Loud thunk, like the bottom was falling out of car, and car lurched into reverse. Shifted to drive, another thunk and lurch. Pulled car to side of street and called chrylser roadside assistance for tow. Waited 5 hours for tow truck which came from another state. Really?! car is now at dealership, got call today 10/6 that the valve body on the transmission needs to be replaced and that it is a 7-10 day wait because the part is backordered. (after reading all these complaints, I now know why). I've paid two months lease on the vehicle, have been able to drive it for 3 weeks, and 500 miles. Current mileage is approximately 5300.

After coming to complete stop (at a gas pump), put transmission into park, I stepped out of vehicle, within 10 seconds the vehicle began to slowly rolling backwards. My vehicle struck another vehicle causing damage to both vehicles. Now being more aware of this incident, I am very careful to assure both gear indicators- shift knob and display on dash- display "P", and check vehicle physical position for movement. I have noticed there is both a lag to change display and not a positive indication of the park position when changing gear.

I pulled into a parking lot, put the vehicle into park and left the engine running. I got out of the vehicle, when it started to roll backwards. I attempted to climb into the vehicle to stop it, when I fell to the ground and the left front tire of the vehicle ran over my pelvic area. I am positive that the car was in park at the time it started to roll away.

Our new 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited shifted out of park with the engine running while parked at the end of the driveway. My wife had stopped the vehicle, applied the brakes and shifted the vehicle into park. She left the engine running and exited the vehicle while leaving the door open. After she walked away from the vehicle it started moving forward along the driveway towards the attached garage of our house. She chased after the car after it started to slowly roll away and she caught up to the car and tried to get in, but could not fully get in. All she could get in was her right foot to step on the brake and as she was holding onto the steering wheel as the car was still moving. Trying to get in further, her left foot and whole left leg buckled underneath and behind her and she could not then use her left foot to hoist herself into the car. So she grabbed the shift thinking she had to put it back into park but could not see to confirm and also tried to push the ignition 'off' button but the car was still running even though she pushed the off button as her right foot was still on the brake. After the vehicle finally stopped she then she fell back onto the ground trying to recover her lost footing (left foot and leg) and then rolled over to get back up on her feet and then sat in the car to check that it was in park again (the engine was still running). She then shut off the vehicle and with intense pain hobbled to the house screaming in pain while calling out to me. After she was later admitted to the hospital emergency room, had X-rays and a ct scan it was confirmed that her left knee injury and leg pain was due to a fractured knee from this incident...updated 05/02/16

On December 5, 2014, I accepted delivery of a new 2015 model year Jeep Grand Cherokee overland 4X4, equipped with an 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and "keyless enter ?N go.? on December 12, 2014, I was travelling with a friend. When we reached our destination, I pulled to the side of the paved street, placed the vehicle in ?park, ? pressed the ?on off? button to shutoff the engine, and exited the vehicle through the driver?S door. The passenger had exited the front passenger door, and was coming around the rear of the vehicle. (it should be noted that neither I nor my passenger had to ?unlock? our doors to exit the vehicle, confirming I had placed the vehicle in ?park.") as she approached the left rear of the vehicle, she remarked that I had not shut the vehicle off. As I replied, "yes, I did, ? I noticed exhaust coming from the vehicle?S tailpipe. I returned to the driver?S door, opened the door, reached in and pressed the ?on off? button 2-3 times; the vehicle would not shut off. As I was pressing the ?on off? button I believe I heard the engine ?rev? and the vehicle began travelling in reverse. I was caught between the open driver?S door and the vehicle and drug along. I reached in and grabbed the steering wheel in an attempt to pull myself in and gain control of the vehicle. I was unable, and finally let go of the wheel and dropped into the middle of an intersection. As the vehicle proceeded across the intersection it backed into a wooden fence where it came to rest, idling. A responding sheriff?S deputy arrived on the scene, and he told me he was unable to place the vehicle into ?park." I sustained soft tissue injuries to my leg(s).....updated 04/25/16
