I was driving my new Grand Cherokee with 121 miles on the odometer. As I was moving forward with the vehicle in drive and was attempting to turn around to- re-enter a highway the engine stopped. I immediately put the vehicle in park and attempted to restart the vehicle numerous times with no luck. The vehicle was stuck in park with the wheels turned to the left. The rest of the electronics worked but the the vehicle locked in park it could not be moved. This represents an extreme hazard to the motoring public as if I had gone 10 feet further and the engine stalled I would have been in the middle of a busy highway. This is totally unacceptable engineering by Jeep. Two towing companies attempted to unlock this vehicle from park with no success. Very hazardous and disappointing work by Chrysler.
