Description of the problem	On hill with pedestrians all around i stopped vehicle, placed it in park, turned key off. Then i rotated out the door releasing the brake. Vehicle rolled backwards down hill with people diving out of the way. Managed to rotate back into position and stop vehicle in about 20 feet. Started motor moved vehicle forward, engaged park which then worked and set emergency brake. After that i made sure that park correctly engaged before getting out of position. On a second occasion on the same day park failed to engage, however i was prepared and it only rolled backwards a few inches. Since the failure to completely engage park nearly injured people behind me, and if i had failed to get to the brake was headed off a cliff with my wife in it, my first stop was to the jeep factory warranty station at home. Vehicle was trailered back home. The dealership could not duplicate the failure so fixed nothing. Both times park failed you could hear the parking pawl ratcheting.
