2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

I PULLED MY JEEP OUT OF THE GARAGE, WHILE IDLING, I GOT OUT TO GO BEHIND THE JEEP TO CLOSE THE GARAGE DOOR, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE. I WAS HIT AND THROWN TO THE BACK OF THE GARAGE RECEIVING MANY BRUISES AND SCRATCHES. I THEN WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND WAS CHECKED OUT. MY INSURANCE AGENT CAME THE NEXT DAY AND FILED A REPORT OF THE ACCIDENT . THE DEALER FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE JEEP WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ACCIDENT. THE DAMAGE TO THE JEEP, TO THE GARAGE AND ITS CONTENTS WAS IN EXCESS OF $7000.00. IN AUGUST 2001, I SAW ON CNN NEWS JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE'S WERE BEING REPORTED FOR TRANSMISSIONS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I WANTED TO REPORT MINE AS WELL. THANK-YOU RICKY AND NANCY GERRIN 8-13-01. *AK
