Description of the problem	I backed out of my garage into the driveway and stopped the car to bring in the recycling bin. I shifted into what i thought was park, released the break, and exited the car. After i had exited, the car began to move forward toward the open garage. I attempted to jump back into the car in order to stop it and sustained a serious hand injury as the jeep's door slammed into the side of the garage and closed back upon me. Similar runaway car events have occurred to me in this car (with less dramatic consequences) twice prior, but never in 25 years before i purchased this 2018 grand cherokee. Some 2018 jeeps have been recalled for faulty park lock rods, so my concern is that the events i experienced have been due to the inability to achieve park. Even if i erroneously put the car in drive, it should typically have started to move forward as soon as i released the break, alerting me that the car was in gear. Instead, nothing happened for 3 seconds - this provided a false sense of security that the car was in park and worse, gave me enough opportunity to exit. This delay can be reproduced when transitioning from reverse to drive. Lastly, when the door in the grand cherokee is opened while the car is in gear, it simply beeps once - a very minimal and inadequate alert system.
