I have been complaining since the day of purchase about the gear selector. It does not engage in park correctly. It jumps out of park when you leave the vehicle. The paddles on the steering wheel are a total menace. I left the car when it was running and it started to move out of park. No warning system will solve this problem since it jumps out of park.

This has to do with the electronic shifter that has been in the news lately. I have read that, finally, Chrysler is addressing this problem. The solution they have come up with, to put the car in park if the driver's door is opened, does not suffice to fix this issue. Here is why: I have had the situation, where I pull my car into my garage which is on a slight incline. My kids jump out of the car, and walk around the back to get into the house. As is often the case, I have a few things to gather up, so I am not as quick to exit the car as they are. Kids are behind the car and I take my foot off the brake and the car starts rolling backward while the kids are behind it. It is only by extreme luck that I did not kill both my children. I would like to add, that even though I am painfully aware of the situation with the shifter, and I am extremely diligent, you can become distracted and forget. For the record, I have sent messages to Chrysler (specifically, when they sent their customer satisfaction survey after I first received the car) that mentions this as a problem. I have brought it to the dealer's attention. No response. This is a big problem. The second I read about that young man getting killed in la I said to my son that I would guarantee he was driving a Jeep. I have been saying someone was going to get killed for nearly two years, and now someone has. And, I would be willing to bet there are others who just didn't realize why or what happened to them. Please require them to make a better fix and to call each and every Jeep owner and verbally describe this issue. There are people who don't read their mail, who do not speak english etc. Their fix is not going to alleviate this problem. Thank you.

Recall S27/NHTSA 16V-240 our Jeep Grand Cherokee was damaged in a rollaway accident on May 20, 2016 for the specific issue related to this recall. My wife thought the car was in park and got out of the vehicle. The vehicle then proceeded to roll down the street and into the woods. The insurance estimate for damage was $7,000. Lucky no one was injured or killed. I contacted fca and they sent out a special investigator to look at the car. I just received a letter from fca saying that nothing was wrong with the car. I have tried to reach out to the person who sent the letter and can not get a return call.

When driving and needing to accelerate quickly, transmission seizes and has a significantly delayed response. Happens when trying to make left turn through traffic, merging into traffic circles and highways as well as sometimes when accelerating on a highway. Very dangerous. First time it happened I was attempting to make a left turn at a break in passing traffic. Had my twin 2 year olds in the car and the car seized after I had moved slightly into on coming traffic. I just kept pressing down harder and finally the transmission engaged and responded but was very very close to getting hit. It then happened trying to merge onto a traffic circle. This time I wasn't as aggressive because I was afraid it would lock up and it happened again. It happens every time I drive so I can't clearly list all the incidents. I just now have to drive knowing I can't make quick or abrupt accelerations. Have been to dealership many times with this complaint and they just say they will update software. Issue still there. Anxious for lease to be over.

Was reversing with my small boat attached at the lake prior to launching. Put Jeep in park to step out and check how much room I had. Vehicle continued to reverse, knocking me underneath the open drivers door. Stopped when it hit a tree about 10 feet away. I had front tire mark on my back, pretty scratched up and bruised, pulled muscles etc. Visited the doctor for a check-up.

While stopped in traffic, we saw a big rig coming fast behind us, clearly unable to stop in time, we were on I-80 in the California Sierra.. we tried to reverse and get out of our lane, but the shift lever kept defaulting to neutral. It was an extremely close near miss, and we were very close to exiting our Jeep, as the big rig was using its horn. Fortunately, it pulled to our right and stopped next to us. But because the car refused to shift into reverse or drive (it kept popping into neutral, we could have been in a very nasty accident. We don't feel the "fix" Jeep is proposing in its latest recall will fix this problem. We told our service department about this and at the time, we were told there was no recall or known issue. We now know there is a recall. It's the 7th or 8th for our vehicle. We have little faith that this problem will be fixed. Adding an alarm will not fix the problem that the shift defaults to neutral on its own. We are thinking of trading the car, but we like the car and really don't want to do that. However, we no longer trust the shifter nor Jeep

Transmission electronic shift lever. In April 2015 my vehicle rolled into a parking lot guardrail, after I thought the shift lever was in park. The left front fender was damaged and had to be replaced. I filed a reimbursement claim with fca on 05-27-16 and was recently denied.

On 3/22/16 I went to a tennis tournament with 2 friends. I drove our Jeep Grand Cherokee. Once I parked in the flat/surface lot I exited the car to walk to the rear of the car to enter the trunk and realized the car was still I gear. This same situation has happened a number of times, often when we are in the process of accessing the rear doors or the trunk. This is our family vehicle and when we are with the kids this happens it has scared us from driving the vehicle.

On the morning of Thursday 3/6/14, as I was leaving for work, I stopped my Jeep Grand Cherokee at the end of my driveway to pick up my newspaper. (I thought) I put the car in park and exited my vehicle. As I was picking up the paper, I realized the car was rolling backward, down the remainder of my driveway and across my cul-de-sac. As I ran beside the car I saw the car was in reverse. I was certain I had put the car in park! realizing that nothing was going to stop the car until it hit something (options were a fire hydrant or my neighbor's house, ) I foolishly attempted to jump in the car to stop it. I missed.... badly. After trying to jump into a moving vehicle and missing, I fell to the street. I was on my back. At that moment I knew that I was going to be run over. I did not know where I was in relation to the car and, in that split second, prepared for the worst. I counted myself "lucky" when the vehicle "only" ran over my left lower leg, ankle and foot! the vehicle came to rest, luckily, in a snowbank across the street from my house (picture attached). Aaa was called to pull the car off the snowbank, as it high-centered. I sought medical treatment. I had a badly sprained ankle and damage to my left foot arch. I have not walked correctly since and continue to have pain in the arch of my foot and knees. While I told my neighbors and circle of friends, I did not notify my car dealer as I thought the incident was my negligence by not putting the car in park. It has only been through the recent media that I realize that I am another victim of this vehicle's gear shift defect.
