NHTSA complaint: 2015 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN
MY CAR TRANSMISSION SHIFTED WAS RECALLED AND I HAD THE FIXES MADE IN JUNE OF 2016. PRIOR TO THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL INSTANCES MY SAFETY HAD BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO THE SHIFTER. SINCE THEN I HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SHIFTER COMING OUT OF PARK INTO NEUTRAL. TODAY I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND PLACED MY CAR INTO PARK. I REACHED BEHIND ME TO GRAB MY PURSE FROM THE BACK SEAT AND IN THAT TIME MY CAR HAD GONE FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL ROLLED FORWARD, HITTING THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS A MINOR COLLISION BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTERS IN THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE.
