 Description of the problemI am writing this because of the recent transmission shifter recall regarding my 2014 jeep grand cherokee. On april 9, 2015, at approximately 2:00 a. M., i stopped at the post office to mail a letter. I placed the electronic vehicle gear shifter into 'park'. It actually went into reverse. As i stepped out of the vehicle, my foot began to slip. I thought i had stepped onto some oil on the parking lot. I placed my other foot onto the pavement to catch my balance. It began to slip, also. In the confusion, i was unable to determine whether the vehicle was moving forward or reverse. I still had a hold on the door and the steering wheel. As i tried to pull myself back into the vehicle, the steering wheel turned. At that point, and since the door was wide open, i decided to drop to the pavement to move away from the moving vehicle. When i did, the front left wheel rolled over my right leg. My leg must have been in a folded position. The wheel rolled onto the inner-upper part of my lower leg, missing the knee, and off the outer-lower part of my upper leg. The pain set in. I was able to get up, chase down the vehicle, get in, and stop it before it crashed into anything. I sat in the vehicle for a while until some of the pain subsided a bit, drove back to the original place at the post office and parked it. I lost the letter i was mailing and searched for it. I went home, took three aspirin and a shot of whiskey, and watched television for a while until i could sleep. The next day at the office, my assistant named the vehicle "christine". On april 12, while getting ready for church, i noticed my foot looked very dirty. It would not wash off. My brother was visiting at the time, so i asked him to take me to the hospital. There was lots of soft tissue trauma, scaring, and nerve damage. One year later, the scars and some numbness remain.
