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

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE (BACKED IN). I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND MOVED FORWARD SEVERAL FEET SO THAT I COULD UNLOAD SOMETHING FROM THE REAR STORAGE AREA. I BELIEVED THAT I HAD SHIFTED INTO "PARK" AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE THEN BEGAN MOVING IN REVERSE, STOPPING WHEN IT STRUCK SOME CABINETS AT THE REAR OF THE GARAGE. REAR LIFTGATE BENT AND CAUSED THE REAR GLASS TO SHATTER. ALTHOUGH I WAS FAIRLY SURE I HAD SHIFTED INTO "PARK" I ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY AND DID NOT REPORT THE INCIDENT EXCEPT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY.*AK
