Description of the problem | I was on a slight hill (approx 10-15 degrees) stopped the car and put it into park, pressed the engine start button to shut off the engine and opened the door to exit. As i lifted my weight out of the car, it began to roll backwards, my foot slipped under the car but i was able to hit the breaks with my other foot. Thinking it was something i did wrong, i pulled the car back up and repeated the same steps and it did the same thing again (this time with out my foot). I was then thinking, this is a brand new 31k+ car - it cant be doing this so i repeated a third time and it happened again. I called my dealer who instructed me to set the emergency brake on park selection on my radio and to bring the car in immediately! Its now in the dealers shop as they are getting the hem and haw from chrysler on what to do. I want this fixed asap as i am lucky the car did not run over me and crash into the cars behind me. |
