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

LEFT THE JEEP RUNNING AT THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY TO PUT RECYCLABLES OUT. WHEN I TURNED BACK AROUND THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS TOWARDS ME. OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR TO STOP IT, BUT COULD NOT. THE VEHICLE ROLLED ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AND INTO THE DITCH IN THE MEDIAN, WHERE IT STRUCK THE LEFT REAR BUMPER, STOPPING THE VEHICLE. CALLED FOR A TROOPER AND WAS GIVEN AN ACCIDENT REPORT AND A TICKET. TOOK TO A LOCAL BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE INCIDENT HAD BENT THE FRAME AS WELL AS DESTROYING THE BUMPER. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITHIN TWO WEEKS AT THE LOCAL BODY SHOP.*AK
