I WAS WASHING MY JEEP IN MY DRIVE WAY, WHEN IT JUST STARTED ROLLING TOWARDS ME. SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME, AND WHEN I CHECK INSIDE MY GEAR WAS IN REVERSE. I DIDN'T HIT, ALMOST, BUT NO DAMAGE. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESNT' HAPPEN EVER AGAIN.

THERE WERE TWO INCIDENTS: ONE IN AUGUST OF 2000 AND ONE IN FEBRUARY OF 2001. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS IDLING IN PARK AND WENT INTO REVERSE WITHOUT A DRIVER IN THE CAR AND CAUSED A NEAR ACCIDENT. IN THE SECOND INCIDENT, OUR ONE-YEAR-OLD SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE CAR. WE ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WOULD LIKE IT FIXED. THANK YOU.*AK

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO INSPECT MANY GRAND CHEROKEES AND NOTICE THAT THE MAJORITY PRE 1996 HAD LEAKAGE PROBLEMS. THOSE PROBLEMS WERE EITHER WITH THE TRANSMISSION SEALS LEAKING OR ENGINE SEALS LEAKING. I FEEL THIS IS CAUSED BY A POOR CRAFTMANSHIP OR MATERIALS. I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 4 YEARS NOW, BUT I HAVE SEEN MANY THAT HAVE FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FOR RESOLUTION. *AK
