NHTSA complaint: 1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
I PUT THE JEEP IN PARK AT A VALET PARKING AREA IN NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ. MY WIFE AND I EXITED THE JEEP. WHILE I WAS RECEIVING MY TICKET, THE JEEP BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE JEEP AND HIT THE BRAKES INCHES BEFORE HITTING THE CAR BEHIND. I WROTE THE INCIDENT OFF TO HUMAN ERROR. THE JEEP WAS DEFINETELY IN REVERSE WHEN I RE-ENTERED. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE CURRENT FINDINGS BUT THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT. *AK
