2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE Complaints

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY SCREEN WENT BLANK, WHICH CONTROLLED ALL OF THE SETTINGS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000.

I NOTICED THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED STARTING SEPTEMBER 5, 2015. WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP THE VEHICLE IT LUNGED FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I ALSO NOTICED DELAYS IN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION.

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 *BF *CN

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 *BF *CN

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY NO OBSTACLES OR ANYTHING AROUND US AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. PIECES OF GLASS STARTED FALLING DOWN ON MY WIFE AND I. WE DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. LUCKY THE VEHICLE HAD A SUNSCREEN BECAUSE LARGE PIECES STARTED FALLING ON THE WAY. THE SERVICE MANAGER IS CHECKING TO SEE IF IT IS UNDER WARRANTY!

I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY, LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. DID NOT ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. I WALKED OUT OF THE CAR, INTO MY HOUSE TO PICK UP SOMETHING AND THEN RETURNED TO THE DRIVEWAY. MY CAR WAS NO LONGER IN THE DRIVEWAY, BUT WAS NOW ACROSS THE STREET AND IN MY NEIGHBORS YARD. IT APPARENTLY ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND CAUSE INJURY TO SOMEONE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT ME TO PROCEED. I OBVIOUSLY NEED A CAR FOR WORK AND TO CARPOOL, BUT AM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT.
