Description of the problem	It was parked in the nero ellie, i was in a hurry and could not get the vehicle in park so i put it into neutral, went around back open the rear gate door, then closed it, then as i went to get back into the jeep and open the door touched the steering wheel the vehicle started to move and i fell to the ground pinned between a garage and the door. After the vehicle had moved by me, running over my right shoe, it hit a building, and then i was able to swing my right leg into the compartment and put on the emergency brake. The vehicle stopped and to my amazement the shifter lever was in drive. Normally on this vehicle if you put it in neutral and get out, you must press the break and hit start to shift it into gear. I came within about one second of dying by being crushed between the garage in the wheels. At 64 i am seriously hurting tonight. In reading on the web i see i am not alone in this occurrence, please do something in the way of a recall as i would hate to see anyone hurt like i was. Thank you.
