Description of the problem	I have a long narrow driveway with a bit of a slope toward the house. When going out the driveway i seen a trash container tipped over. I put the vehicle in park, letting it idle, while i exited the vehicle to remove the container. Looking back i seen the jeep backing down the driveway toward the house under it's own power. I tried catch it,but it hit the side of the home on a garage wall. Total damage to the vehicle is around $9400 i've yet to get the house damage estimate back. I didn't see if the vehicle was in park or reverse when i exited. I pushed the shifter clear forward till it stopped, then exited. The shifter has to go thru reverse before it gets to park. In the past i've noticed that it did not always go into park when i had put it there. I drive like normal people drive. I have 55+ years of driving experience. We shift by feel and not always looking down at the shifter. When a shift lever goes thru the motion forward and stops, we expect it to be in park, not reverse. This is a major flaw in the vehicle. I love the new 8 speed transmission, but don't trust the shifting mechanism. My wife is very reluctant to drive it because of this issue. I've contacted chrysler about the issue. They seem concerned and are wanting to look at the vehicle when repaired. However, i'm not certain, hearing about other issues with vehicles, whether they are just trying to blow smoke until i quite down. I did obtain a leg injury when attempting to stop the vehicle. Not serious, but surely could have been. Had there been a child, pet or other person behind the vehicle, it could have been disastrous. There needs to be a fix to this problem. I have a family member that works for state farm insurance. They've also had similar complaints. There's not detent in the shifting, it just goes forward and stops. All electronic, not mechanical as they used to be.
