1999 JEEP CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

THE JEEP WAS IN PARK WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND MY SON WHO IS FIVE YEARS OF AGE ACCIDENTLY KNOCKED THE CAR OUT OF PARK. IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WENT DOWN THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET AND UP IN TO MY NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND CAME BACK DOWN THE YARD AND WAS PHYSICALLY STOPPED BY A NEIGHBOR BEFORE IT HIT OUR RURAL MAILBOX. THER WERE APPROXIMATELY 20 CHILDREN PLAYING N THE CUL-DE-SAC. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON INSIDE THE VEHICLE. TO REPEAT THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE, YET IT COULD STILL BE MANUVERED INTO GEAR ACCIDENTLY BY A FIVE YEAR OLD. IT WAS A MIRACLE THAT NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THE ACTIVITY LEVEL OF OUR STREET AT THE TIME. *AK
