Description of the problem | On friday may 20, 2016 i stopped at the shell gas station to get a cup of coffee. I placed the vehicle in park (engine running) and exited the vehicle. As i walked to the store, out of the corner of my eye i saw my grand cherokee backing up across the lot. I ran to the vehicle, opened the drivers door and tried to step on the brake (from outside the vehicle), but the drivers door knocked me down, running over my left ankle. In the fall, i broke the little finger on my left hand. Another gas station patron was able to jump in my jeep and apply the brakes as i lay writhing on the ground. The next day my ankle was quite swollen and black and blue, so i went to the urgent care. X-rays showed no broken bones in my foot, but revealed my broken little finger. The vehicle never hit anything. I thought i must have forgotten to put the vehicle in park through my error (i knew i had put the vehicle in park), but recent events and deaths concerning this issue with the jeep grand cherokee has made me realize that there is an issue with the shifter. |
