1997 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

MY WIFE DROVE UP TO AND OPENED A GATE. SHE DROVE THROUGH THE GATE. ON THE OTHER SIDE, SHE STOPPED THE CAR, PLACED IT IN PARK, LEFT THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN, THE SUV STARTED IN REVERSE TOWARD A BUILDING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS SPRUNG AND DAMAGED FROM HITTING THE GATEPOST. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO CATCH UP WITH THE VEHICLE, GET IN AND PUT IT IN PARK AND STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT HIT THE BUILDING. THE DOOR SUSTAINED $ 1876 DAMAGE AND WE HAVE BEEN SURCHARGED ON OUR INSURANCE SINCE THE OCCURRENCE. WE FEEL IT WAS THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, NOT OURS. *AK
