Description of the problem	This roll away incident occurred on march 7, 2019. My 2016 jeep grand cherokee was parked in a driveway that was not my own and i exited the vehicle while the jeep was in park but idling. I exited the jeep without an incident (noticing any forward movement of the vehicle) and walked to the porch to deliver a letter to the homeowner. I was on the porch when the jeep moved forward into this homeowner's garage,crashing into the trash cans in front of the garage first and pushing them into the garage door. This caused substantial damage to the garage door and it's track. I watched this incident from the top step of the porch and quickly jumped into the jeep, put it into reverse and looked at the damage from the bottom of the driveway. Two days later a claim was filed with fca. Three days from the incident, a eaa representative contacted me to obtain information. Four days later i was asked to pick up my jeep from the dealer after their inspection. On april 5th, almost a month later, i received a letter from fca stating that they could not find fault with the vehicle and it was human error! I recreated this while now in the driver's seat. I opened the door and was warned via the tone that the door was open as it moved about 1-2 mph up the driveway in d without touching the gas. There was no way on 3-7-19 it was in drive as i could not have gotten out without noticing it move this quickly. It rolled up it that fast with my foot off the brake. Fca stated they could not replicate this action but they did not even try! After leasing or purchasing in the immediate family: 4 jeeps (it never happened to any other prior model), and 6 other vehicles, i will never own or lease another fca vehicle again. The inability for this billion $ company like fca to replace a garage door and say it was owner error will keep me from recommending this company to any friend or family member. bfjb
