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

ON JULY 4, 2000, OUR 1999 JEEP CHEROKEE JUMPED FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND COVERED APPROX. 40 FEET BEFORE PLUMMETING INTO A HOLE BEING DUG FOR THE FOUNDATION OF OUR NEW HOME WITH OUR THEN 15-MO. SON INSIDE. THE JEEP FLIPPED ONTO ITS ROOF TRAPPING OUR SON (WHO HAD FALLEN ASLEEP INSIDE) UPSIDE DOWN WITHIN INCHES OF MORE THAN A FOOT OF WATER THAT HAD COLLECTED AT THE BOTTOM. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ABLE TO RESCUE OUR SON WHO WAS UNINJURED. THE JEEP WAS IN PARK WITH THE AC ON FULL AND WAS STATIONARY FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES ON LEVEL GROUND BEFORE JUMPING INTO DRIVE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE JEEP AT THE SCENE AND THE CONDITIONS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, AS WELL AS A POLICE REPORT. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP MAKE SURE NO ONE EVER HAS TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING SO HORRIFYING (AND POTENTIALLY FATAL) AGAIN.*AK
