| Description of the problem | I moved my jeep on the driveway, and believe i placed it in park with the engine on while going back in the house. When i returned outside less then one minute later, the jeep was rolling down the hill backwards. It went straight down the driveway backwards, across the street, and into the rear of a car parked across the street. I believe it totaled the other vehicle and did approximately $1300 damage to the jeep. I did not file a police report, but there was an insurance claim against my insurance for the damage done to the other vehicle. I did not submit a claim for my own insurance as there was a $1,000 deductible. I just read an article in the paper that other people have been having similar problems where it is difficult to tell if the vehicle is in park. (the date of 9/1/2015 is estimated but can be confirmed) |
