Description of the problem | 3/7/16 car was parked at walmart parking lot, engine was left running with my wife in passinger seat. After approx. 20 min. The car began to reverse. Car went appox. 60 ft and hit another parked car, moving it approx. 1 1/2 ft sideways. The other car was hit on driver side between the doors. My wife attempted to stop the jeep after it hit the other car while she was still in the passinger seat, and the car went forward to the same parking spot, jumped 12 in curb,went up a three berm and stopped when it hit a concrete base for a light pole. I'm 81 years old and i've owned many cars and this is the worst shifting system i've ever had. I have also rented many cars in many countries and never had a shifter as bad as this jeep.
