 Description of the problemOur new 2015 jeep grand cherokee limited shifted out of park with the engine running while parked at the end of the driveway. My wife had stopped the vehicle, applied the brakes and shifted the vehicle into park. She left the engine running and exited the vehicle while leaving the door open. After she walked away from the vehicle it started moving forward along the driveway towards the attached garage of our house. She chased after the car after it started to slowly roll away and she caught up to the car and tried to get in, but could not fully get in. All she could get in was her right foot to step on the brake and as she was holding onto the steering wheel as the car was still moving. Trying to get in further, her left foot and whole left leg buckled underneath and behind her and she could not then use her left foot to hoist herself into the car. So she grabbed the shift thinking she had to put it back into park but could not see to confirm and also tried to push the ignition 'off' button but the car was still running even though she pushed the off button as her right foot was still on the brake. After the vehicle finally stopped she then she fell back onto the ground trying to recover her lost footing (left foot and leg) and then rolled over to get back up on her feet and then sat in the car to check that it was in park again (the engine was still running). She then shut off the vehicle and with intense pain hobbled to the house screaming in pain while calling out to me. After she was later admitted to the hospital emergency room, had x-rays and a ct scan it was confirmed that her left knee injury and leg pain was due to a fractured knee from this incident. ..
