NHTSA complaint: 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2001, I PARKED MY GRAND CHEROKEE IN FRONT OF MY PLACE OF BUSINESS. I LEFT THE CAR IDLING IN PARK, WHILE I RAN INTO THE BUILDING TO DROP SOMETHING OFF AT THE FRONT DESK. I WAS GONE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 SECONDS. WHEN I RETURNED MY CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. IT TRAVELED 214 FEET, RUNNING UP OVER A CURB, OVER A STOP SIGN AND HITTING A PARKED CAR BEFORE STOPPING.*AK
