My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission failed to engage in parking gear on a hill in a parking lot and rolled away into another parking car with a driver inside damaging both cars and resulting in insurance claims to fix the damage. No injures but damage to both vehicles. Recent software upgrade to fix issue is horrible. Providing claim documentation on both vehicles involved.

Shifting problems mainly on freeway travel and in hilly situations, will very hard downshift when slowing to a stop. Will downshift to lower gear without warning and will not shift up when you try accelerate to get back into traffic, stays in a lower gear much to long then finally will up shift, sometimes I have pull off road. This is a very dangerous problem.

Wife parking on 1st floor of parking structure in downtown green bay, wi July 13th 2016. She shifted to reverse to adjust the vehicle so as to enter the parking space correctly. The vehicle started to move back while she looked over her shoulder to see what was behind her. All of a sudden the truck stopped going back & violently jerked forward. The truck started moving rapidly forward even though it had not been shifted into drive. The front tires jumped up on the curb at the front of the parking spot. The truck hit the cement wall violently at the front of the parking space. The front of the truck actually went through a portion of the cement wall. The motor was revving loudly while the truck was pressed up against the wall as if trying to push its way through the wall. Wife had difficulty getting vehicle to shut off as the push button start was ineffective due to the vehicle not shifting easily out of gear. The accident resulted in $11K+ in damages to the truck and $40K+ in damages to the parking structure. There is a recall on the shift lever for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is S27/whtsa 16V-240. Tried to get recall fixed a month prior to the crash but was advised by dealer the parts were not available as of yet. Crash occurred while waiting for parts to be available. Chrysler says this recall is not the cause of this incident. Reluctantly filed accident claim with my insurance company. Claims adjuster advised he had 2 other incidents where the insured claimed this model of truck had shifted itself into either reverse or drive on its own.

I drive the 2014 gr Cherokee with the electronic gear shifter that has been recalled for the shifter not engaging all of the way into park. I had the recall 'fix' done a couple of months ago, but then found out from the dealer that the emergency brake only engages if you attempt to open one of the doors. About a week ago, after parallel parking on a busy city street, I put the car in park and remained in the car for about another minute while fishing quarters out of my cupholder (for the parking meter). I all of a sudden felt like something hit my car, looked up only to find my car had rolled backward into the parked car behind me. I have a huge bike rack on the back of my Jeep that blocks the reverse camera, so the audible security alert is always on when the car is in reverse - this alert did not come on while the car was rolling backward, therefore, the car was not in reverse, but rather not in park all of the way. Thankfully there were no pedestrians behind my car, nor any damage to either vehicle, however, if a person would have had their back to me, I would have crushed them between the two cars. My car has now been at the dealership for 6 days (second time for same issue) and I'm dealing with customer service departments within Chrysler/Jeep to rectify this issue somehow. I want either a new gear shifter that is not electronic, or to get out of this vehicle. This gear shifter is an enormous safety hazard. I feel like I'm getting the run-around, to say the least, about a major recall that is the auto makers fault, not the consumer. For the record, I have been driving approximately 30 years and typically average 20-30K miles/year. I am consulting a lawyer at this point.

My Jeep was serviced twice for the recent shifter problem that Chrysler identifies as driver inattention or confusion. The software patch that is intended to "auto park" the vehicle, has failed on two occasions. The engine is started, I apply the brake and place the shifter into reverse or a forward gear. I the desired gear is illuminated and I ease of the brake, however, when apply gas the engine simply races as if the transmission is still in park or neutral. Jeeps attempt to fix a problem has now led to another problem. This vehicle is unreliable and a death machine. I have no confidence in it's operation and I can't in good conscience sell this vehicle to anyone. Jeep corporate should be in jail.

The shifter problems have been well documented but I read about the proposed solution and from my experience that will only fix part of the problem. Unless the driver is paying close attention the vehicle may not be in park. But it is also very easy to shift from park to neutral. The near miss I had was leaving a parking lot that had an incline to a very bust street. I thought I was idling to the ease of the street but I was actually in neutral. When I let off the brake to pull onto the street the car rolled into oncoming traffic but obviously did not excellerate when I hit the throttle. Scrambling to get the car in gear it took a few prescious seconds to realize you have to push on the brake in order for the transmission to shift. Too much to think about in those circumstances. The shifter is going to get others killed unless a complete new system is installed. This car has many great safety features but in many cases there just isn't enough time to react. I'm a 40 year experienced licensed driver with class a cdl. A driver should not have to concentrate on the shifter. It should be a natural motion. This is a ticking time bomb that must be repaired or it will cause more accidents and deaths. Please keep in mind that an alarm that tells the driver the car is or is not in park will only fix part of the problem. I routinely find myself in the wrong gear. Jeep is trying to find a cheap way out that is just not going to work.
