Consumer Description

WHEN LEFT IN PARK, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THIS 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS (PERHAPS SIX OR EIGHT TIMES) SLIPPED OUT OF PARK AND MOVED BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD ON IT'S OWN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THERE WAS NO DRIVER IN THE CAR WHEN IT BEGAN MOVING. IN THE LATEST EPISODE, IN MAY OF 2001, MY WIFE WAS KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AS SHE ATTEMPTED TO REENTER THE CAR WHICH SHE HAD LEFT IN PARK. THE JEEP MOVED BACKWARD UNTIL COMING TO REST ON A HEDGE AND A CABLE TV BOX ON THE STREET NEXT TO OUR HOME. THE DAMAGES WERE ABOUT $200. MY WIFE WAS BRUISED, BUT NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. WHAT SHOULD WE DO? IS THERE A RECALL? WILL THIS BE REPORTED TO JEEP?*AK
