I was dropping off a dvd rental, I left the car running and pushed the 'return to center' shifter all the way up to the stop limit quickly and got out of the vehicle. My 23 year old son was in the passenger seat and yelled out "dad the car is moving" I jumped back in put my foot on the brake and watched the shift indicator as I slowly moved the shifter up so it indicated park. I have test driven the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016 and would like the redesigned shifter put in my car, it has a mechanical feel to it and I was able to be assured that the transmission was in the intended gear.

I have had two incidents involving Y 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee whereas I put the gear shifter into park and both times the vehicle moved in gear. The first incident I was loading my boat and trailer into lake powell and placed the shifter into park and the vehicle keep rolling back. The only thing that saved anyone from getting hurt was I placed the parking brake on immediate. The second instance was I was backing into my garage when I placed the shifter into park and the vehicle kept driving backwards in reverse gear. This causes my vehicle to crash into overhead storage and cause approximately $1500 in damage to vehicle. I called Chrysler and they did nothing to help but gave me the run around. I am concerned with my personal safety now due to this issue.

After putting the vehicle in what I thought was park in my circular drive, I hit the power button and exited the vehicle. It must have been in neutral because when I turned around to go back to the car to figure out what was going on with the noise, I saw my 10 year old pull the transmission into drive from the back seat. The car started moving forward at an angle (the wheels were turned due to circle drive) and I had to run to get it. After I got in the car and before I could get my foot on the break, my left leg that was still outside the door was smashed when the car swiped a tree and the right side of the car hit a rock. I was told the damage was over $1300 to repair. I did not seek medical treatment for my leg.

Gear selector lever is very difficult to ensure that the operator has selected the proper gear. What was an intuitive function in almost all vehicles is in the vehicle now requires too much time to make visual checks that proper gear selection is made. Its possible to shift up into what you think is park, only to find the vehicle still in reverse. Inadvertent bumps of the shift lever can take the transmission out of "D" drive selection and place the vehicle into "S" sport shift mode without the driver being aware. The operator over time will adapt, but occasionally still error at times. An overly complex device for what is and should be a simple function. It is entirely possible to get out of this vehicle thinking your car is in park, when its in reverse.

The electronic gear shifter is difficult to use and often shifts into an unintended gear during use. For instance, when pulling into a driveway and then reversing, I often get delayed in the maneuver as the shifter will shift to N instead of R from D, or while trying to reverse from P, it will shift to N instead of R. in times of traffic, this shifter requires me to take my eyes off of the road and onto the shifter itself to make sure it is shifting into the exactly the right gear, which can be hazardous. Also, when attempting to place the vehicle in P, it will shift into R just as easily as it will shift into P. I have left my vehicle before when it is in R thinking it was in P.

With a cold transmission (usually) the vehicle has a hard time going from 1st gear to 2nd. There is lag/delay and then when it shifts there is a lurch forward movement. This is happening when shifting from park to drive and then moving...I.e. out of a parking space or out of the driveway entering the street. This happens daily.

Transmission frequently stuck between gears when starting from a near stop. Dealer is able to reproduce issue and computer reports that "dog clutch" is confused on which gear to be in. When applying throttle, car will not move until clutch disengages causing a strong surge. Chrysler engineering is refusing to address the issue. I feel it is a safety concern as the car doesn't move when pressing throttle until the transmission decides which gear to engage.

Electronic gear shifter is extremely dangerous, it takes me two or three tries to get the Jeep into the correct gear every time I start the vehicle. Fiat Chrysler needs to recall these and fix them immediately.
