THE JEEP CHEROKEE IN QUESTION WAS PARKED IN THE OWNER'S GARAGE. WHEN A VISITOR STARTED IT, IT IMMEDIATELY JUMPED INTO REVERSE AND FLEW ATA HIGH SPEED OUT OF THE GARGAGE. THIS CAUSED IT TO CROSS A STREET, HIT A RETAINING WALL AND A MAIN WATERLINE. THE COLLAPSE OF THE WALL MADE THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR FALL OFF THE HINGES. HER CAR WAS STUCK INSIDE FOR OVER A WEEK AND SHE WAS WITHOUT WATER UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. THE 1995 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED WAS TOTALED.

THE VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ON ITS OWN AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE DAMAGING THE REAR END, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. *YH

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON 04/21/97 WHEN MY JEEP SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO THE RETAINIG WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER. YHEY CLAIMED TO HAVE INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO MALFUNCTION OR DEFECT. THEY OFFERED TO INSTALL A "BRAKE-PARK" SHIFT INTERLOCK RETROFIT PACKAGE, BUT TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM CLAIMING THAT DRIVER. *AK

WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND LET THE AUTOMOBILE. IT THEN STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS FOR SEVERAL YARDS AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED CAR WITH NO PASSENGERS IN IT. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN MY CAR. I BELIEVE THAT IT KICKED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION IN JEEP CHEROKEE'S DOING THIS KIND OF THING.*AK

I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT OF THE IGNITION, TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL AHEAD. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT QUITE OFTEN. TODAY, I NEARLY ROLLED INTO THE VEHICLE PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. *AK
