I RECENTLY READ ABOUT REPORTS TO NHTSA CONCERNING OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM I HAD BACK IN 1999 BUT NEVER REPORTED FOR VARIOUS REASONS. THE PROBLEM CONCERNS THE JEEP LURCHING INTO REVERSE AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS PLACED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. IN MY CASE, I PULLED MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE AND ONTO MY DRIVEWAY, PLACED THE GEARSHIFT INTO "PARK" AND TEMPORARILY EXITED THE CAR WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN AND ENGINE RUNNING (TO GET SOMETHING FROM MY GARAGE). AFTER I WALKED ABOUT 15 FEET TO THE GARAGE (ABOUT 5 SECONDS AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN PLACED INTO "PARK"), THE CAR BOLTED INTO REVERSE, AND I HAD TO CHASE THE CAR DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP IN AND SLAM ON THE BRAKE, BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER THE OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. I HAD THE CAR FIXED BY THE DEALER AND REPORTED IT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WHO PAID FOR SOME OF THE DAMAGE.*AK

I STOPPED IN A LEVEL DRIVEWAY, PUT THE CAR IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE IDLING, AND GOT OUT TO UNLOCK A GATE. WHILE I WAS OUTSIDE THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO REVERSE, AND THE CAR DROVE BACKWARD ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S TREE. I MANAGED TO CATCH UP WITH THE CAR THERE AND SWITCH IT OFF. THE BUMPER, LEFT REAR TAILLIGHT AND LEFT REAR FENDER WERE DAMAGED. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO REPEAT WHAT HAD HAPPENED (IE. PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND HAVING IT FALL INTO REVERSE). CHRYSLER REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER REPAIRED THE DAMAGE AT NO COST AND TIGHTENED THE TRANSMISSION LINKAGE.*AK

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I DONT TRUST IT ALL SOMEONE MAY BE KILLED IF MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE. NO SAFETY DEFECT STATED. *AK

TOOK TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INCIDENT HAD BENT THE FRAME AS WELL AS DESTROYING THE BUMPER. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITHIN TWO WEEKS AT THE LOCAL BODY SHOP.*AK

I EXPERIENCED A ROLLAWAY INCIDENT WITH MY JEEP IN NOVEMBER OF 2000. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" POSITION AND GOT OUT TO GO INTO THE LOCAL DOUGHNUT STORE. I WALKED BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. AFTER WALKING AWAY, THE JEEP ROLLED INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR (A 2000 BUICK REGAL) CAUSING LOTS OF DAMAGE TO IT. THE ACCIDENT COST ME $500 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE PLUS, SINCE THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THE ACCIDENT WAS 51% MY FAULT, MY AUTO INSURANCE WENT UP BY $300 THIS YEAR! I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT EARLIER BUT I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS HOTLINE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO. THANK YOU.*AK

IN MAY 1998, I WAS 9 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH OUR FIRST CHILD. I HAD PULLED OUR NEW JEEP UP TO THE MAILBOX & LEFT IT IDLING IN PARK. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I AM AT THE MAILBOX & THE JEEP HAS ROLLED BACK INTO A PARKED TRUCK. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT THE OTHER DRIVER & I BOTH NOTICED THAT THE JEEP WAS STILL RUNINNG & IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I CTOLD THE DEALER THAT IT HAD OBVIOISLY SLIIPED OUT OF GEAR BUT HE BASICALLY BLAMED IT ON ME. HE SAID SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT THAT I WAS SO PREGNANT I PROBABLY FORGOT TO PUT IT IN PARK. FIRST OF ALL, I DIDN;T REVERSE UP TO THE MAILBOXES AND SECOND I WAS A 9 MONTH PREGNANT WOMAN WHO WAS NOT CAPABLE OF JUMPING OUT OF A MOVING V=CAR! THE CAR STAYED STILL LONG ENOUGHT FOR ME TO UNDO MY SEATBELT, OPEN THE DOOR & LEAVE IT OPEN AND CLEAR THE DOORWAY. I KNEW I HAD PUT IT IN PARK BUT THEY REFUSED TO NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER. I PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE AND WENT AND HAD MY DAUGHTER. I CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS & THEY DID WORK ON THE GEAR SHIFT ONE MORE TIME. I KNOW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE JEEP SO I HOPE THIS HELPS YOUR INVESTIGATION. MY LEASE ON THE JEEP WAS UP MAY 2001 SO I HAVE TURNED THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. THANK YOU. SHELLEY CARSON. *AK
