 Description of the problemI drive the 2014 gr cherokee with the electronic gear shifter that has been recalled for the shifter not engaging all of the way into park. I had the recall 'fix' done a couple of months ago, but then found out from the dealer that the emergency brake only engages if you attempt to open one of the doors. About a week ago, after parallel parking on a busy city street, i put the car in park and remained in the car for about another minute while fishing quarters out of my cupholder (for the parking meter). I all of a sudden felt like something hit my car, looked up only to find my car had rolled backward into the parked car behind me. I have a huge bike rack on the back of my jeep that blocks the reverse camera, so the audible security alert is always on when the car is in reverse - this alert did not come on while the car was rolling backward, therefore, the car was not in reverse, but rather not in park all of the way. Thankfully there were no pedestrians behind my car, nor any damage to either vehicle, however, if a person would have had their back to me, i would have crushed them between the two cars. My car has now been at the dealership for 6 days (second time for same issue) and i'm dealing with customer service departments within chrysler/jeep to rectify this issue somehow. I want either a new gear shifter that is not electronic, or to get out of this vehicle. This gear shifter is an enormous safety hazard. I feel like i'm getting the run-around, to say the least, about a major recall that is the auto makers fault, not the consumer. For the record, i have been driving approximately 30 years and typically average 20-30k miles/year. I am consulting a lawyer at this point.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
