Description of the problem	On august 19, 2014, i stepped out of my stationary 2014 jeep grand cherokee overland--believing i had put the vehicle in park on a gentle city-street slope--when it suddenly moved backward, rolling over my left leg and severely damaging my knee, skin, artery, and quad muscles. My wife immediately called an ambulance, which transported me to a local hospital, where doctors surgically attached an "external fixator" in three places, stabilizing and completely immobilizing my leg (for the next five weeks). After a second surgery and over a year of painful and arduous therapy later, i can now walk with a knee-brace, haltingly and with a noticeable limp . . . All due to the jeep grand cherokee's transmission that does not accurately indicate what gear it is in! Unless one is concentrating 100+% of the time on the console shifter--and constantly glancing at the indicator lights on the vehicle dashboard--the driver never knows what position the jeep's transmission is in! The shifter on the console always looks exactly the same, no matter what gear has supposedly been selected. We had no absolutely forewarning of the potential life-threatening problem inherent in this vehicle's design, and i can only thank god that i'm still alive today. Last week we were surprised to receive written notification from fiat chrysler automobiles that the company and nhtsa had recalled 2014 jeep grand cherokees for the specific defect described in my incident above!. (finally! Vindication!) the recall number is show below, i believe. Fca vehicle recall number: s27 / nhtsa 16v-240
