Consumer Description

OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PINNED OUR 2 CHILDREN AGES 2 AND 4 BETWEEN IT AND ANOTHER CAR AFTER BEING PLACED INTO PARK AND JUMPING INTO REVERSE. IT REQUIRED BOTH TO BE AIR EVAC'D TO MARICOPA MEDICAL CENTER FOR EVAL AND TREATMENT. WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT HAD JUMPED INTO REVERSE, THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND STATED THEY COULDN'T RECREATE IT. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THAT IT POPPED INTO REVERSE. I HOPE THIS PROBLEM WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF, WE WERE TOLD UNLESS SOMEONE DIES NOTHING CAN BE DONE, FORTUNATELY WE DID NOT SUFFER ANY FATALITIES. WE HAVE SINCE TURNED IN THE VEHICLE, IF NECESSARY I CAN TRY TO PROVIDE THE VIN NUMBER. *AK
