Description of the problem	We purchased in oct. 2006,a 2006 jeep grand cherokee 4x4, v6 with 5 speed auto transmission, vin [xxx]. There is a safety problem related to this vehicle and transmission. Problem: the vehicle has no hill holding capabilities. In other words, when stopped on a hill, the brake must be held on with your left foot and your right foot on the gas pedal in order to move forward with out the vehicle drifting backward. In all the automatic vehicles that i have owned since 1958, including 1993 and 1996 jeep grand cherokees, none pf them were without hill holding capabilities. The first time i stopped on a hill with this vehicle, i drifted backwards and almost hit the vehicle behind me before i realized what was happening. This to me is a very unsafe condition and something damiler chrysler should be addressing. In expressing my problem to d. C. Customer service, i just got lip service. This is why i'm expressing my problem to you in hope that a solution can be found. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
