1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

IN 1998 WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PURCHASING TH EJEEP, I PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME TO PICK UP THE MAIL,. I PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK. THE GEAR JUMPED INTO REVERSE AFTER I GOT OUT OF TH EJEEP AND IT STARTED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE. I GRABED THE OPEN DOOR BUT IT WAS GOING SO FAST IT KNOCKED ME OVER AND THE TIRES ROLLED OVER MY LEG. THE JEEP PROCEEDED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE, ACROSS THE STREET -ONTO A NEIGHBORS LAWN AND BACKED INTO A TREE. SOMEONE HAD TO PUT THE JEEP INTO PARK, AGAIN AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBLANCE WHERE I HAD A SERIES OF OPERATIONS ON MY LEG. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMED THAT I MUST HAVE PUT THE JEEP INTO REVERSE INSTEAD OF PARK. I HAD THE JEEP REPAIRED AND STILL HAVE IT.*AK
