Description of the problem	I backed up my jeep into a parking space in sfo short term parking, i put the transmission in p , applied the foot parking brake turned off the engine and exited the car. When i went out to pick up my suitcase, i could not open the tailgate since the car was too close to the wall. I reentered into the car, started the engine and moved the car few feet forwards in order to be able to open the tailgate and pick up my suitcase, i meant to drive the car back in reverse to park it after removing the suitcase, i moved the gear shifter forwards and believed that the gear selector was in park and the engine was running i opened the lift gate, removed my suitcase , and manually closed the tailgate, i put the suitcase on the side and went back in order to drive the car back, when i saw the car moving forwards, and eventually hit the wall on the other side , about 40 feet away, i jumped into the car in order stop it, i ended up sitting in the driver seat applying the brake, but a fraction of a second too late. The front of the car suffered substantial damage in the left side , the airbag has not deployed. I am sure that it happened because of the confusing gear shifter employed in this car as included recall s27 which when i when i visited the dealer ( chrysler of stevens creek) few month earlier, soon after i got the recall letter, they were not ready to perform the recall. Right after it happened, i contacted the dealer, they performed the recall. I can see now that if the recall would have been performed earlier this incident would not have happened. I also wish they will replace the shifter, to the one which they applied to the next year model, since it is still dangerous that it is almost always impossible to put the shifter fast in reverse to avoid accident.
