| Description of the problem | Two weeks ago, the jeep dealer completed the automatic transmission recall which insures the transmission is in park when a driver door is opened. However, the problem of knowing what gear the jeep is in remains.. Since the recall was installed, there have been two instances where i thought the jeep was placed in one gear but actually was in a different gear. Once, i thought i had shifted the jeep into park but it was in reverse. A 2nd time i thought i was in drive but actually was in neutral. The safety issue remains that if a driver is mildly distracted after thinking he/she has switched the transmission into park; but actually the transmission is in reverse, the jeep could back over a person or hit something behind it. |
