Description of the problem | The shift unit fails to positively enter the park position when shifted to that position. It has enter the reverse mode! This has happened several times. If the shifter is accidentally bumped to the neutral position while in motion such as if you arm is on the console and hard braking caused your hand/arm slide forward contacting the shifter putting the unit in neutral, the brake must be applied before the unit can be shifted back into gear. The vehicle will be still in motion! The unit is not user friendly in selecting a gear. You must visually assure you are in the desired gear. The dial knob system chrysler had in vehicles without a console was much more user friendly! This issue should be addressed! I believe several years back in the 70s ford had a similar issue with the car moving from park to reverse on its own. I personally know of one lady who was dragged by the car after the door knocked her down as the car went into reverse! These issues with my 2015 jeep have occurred several times since i have owned this vehicle. |
