1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

I EXPERIENCED A ROLLAWAY INCIDENT WITH MY JEEP IN NOVEMBER OF 2000. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" POSITION AND GOT OUT TO GO INTO THE LOCAL DOUGHNUT STORE. I WALKED BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. AFTER WALKING AWAY, THE JEEP ROLLED INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR (A 2000 BUICK REGAL) CAUSING LOTS OF DAMAGE TO IT. THE ACCIDENT COST ME $500 FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE PLUS, SINCE THE INSURANCE COMPANY SAID THE ACCIDENT WAS 51% MY FAULT, MY AUTO INSURANCE WENT UP BY $300 THIS YEAR! I WOULD HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT EARLIER BUT I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS HOTLINE UNTIL A FEW DAYS AGO. THANK YOU.*AK
