| Description of the problem | The electronic gear shifter in this vehicle went from park to rolling down a hill. I was parked and proceeded to exit the vehicle when it started rolling backwards. I jumped back into the vehicle and hit my right knee on the steering wheel and dash board. To avoid hitting the pedestrians behind my vehicle and hitting the vehicle directly behind me. No warning that the vehicle was not parked when the drivers door was open. I contacted chrysler regarding this faulty design and was issued a case..... Updated 06/15/16 *bf *js |
