| Description of the problem | Since i purchased my jeep grand cherokee in 2014 i have had problems with my electronic gear shifter. Several times that i have stopped my car and thought i had placed it in park to go out side my vehicle it was not. Several times while exiting the car my leg was dragged bending it backwards that resulted in a bruise. One time i actually had to chase after my car as it lurched forward. This is a very serious issue. Just pushing the shifter forward does not always place the car in park. Something must be done. Dealer said there was no problem and they could not replicate the problem. I now have to double check the gear shift display to be sure that the car is in park |
