What 1,344 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk

THE VEHICLE WAS AT A FULL STOP IN A LINE OF CARS TO PICK UP CHILDREN FOR SCHOOL. LET OFF BRAKE TO "INCH" FORWARD, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY FULLY ACCELERATED. BRAKE DID NOT OVERRIDE THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR IN FRONT WAS HIT CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AROUND THAT VEHICLE AND THEN JUMPED A CURB BEFORE BEING ABLE TO HALT THE VEHICLE AND KILL THE ENGINE. NARROWLY ESCAPED KILLING OF SCHOOL CHILDREN AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! THE IMAGES ATTACHED WILL SHOW THAT THIS WAS THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION THAT OCCURRED WITHIN JUST A FEW FEET OF THE VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT. IT WAS NOT HUMAN ERROR THAT LED TO THIS CRASH. PLEASE EXERCISE DUE DILIGENCE IN INVESTIGATING THIS, SO AS TO PREVENT FUTURE TRAGEDY! ..UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF UPDATED 9/28/18*JB

I SHIFTED MY CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE PARKED IN A GAS STATION PARKED LOT. AS I EXITED THE DRIVERS SEAT AND BEGUN TO STEP AWAY I NOTICED THE JEEP WAS IN MOTION (ROLLING BACKWARDS, TOWARDS ME JUST STEPS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE).BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN IT KNOCKED ME DOWN ON MY FACE AND THEN ROLLED OVER MY LEGS WITH THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. THE JEEP CONTINUED TO ROLL UNTIL IT CRASHED INTO A FUEL TRUCK PARKED IN THE GAS STATION LOT WHERE I HAD PARKED.

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.

MAY 2016 OUR JEEP GC ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND SMASHED INTO OUR GARAGE. MY WIFE SWEARS SHE PUT IT IN PARK TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AT THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY BUT IT DIDN'T GO INTO PARK. SHE TRIED TO GET IN TO STOP IT AND WAS ALMOST PULLED UNDER THE JEEP AS IT ROLLED. NEIGHBOR SCREAMED TO HER TO LET IT GO AND SHE DID BEFORE SHE GOT HURT. CALLED THE POLICE, NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE AGENT AND MY JEEP DEALER' WHO IS A GOOD FRIEND. JEEP DEALER INFORMED ME OF A RECALL THAT WAS JUST ISSUED FOR THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTER NOT GOING INTO PARK. (S27) YOUR 16V240000. I NOTIFIED FCA AND ASKED WHY I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. TOOK THREE WEEKS TO GET A COPY OF RECALL. THE RECALL SAYS" YOUR VEHICLE MAY ROLL AWAY IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE PARK POSITION BEFORE EXITING. DRIVERS MAY INADVERTENTLY FAIL TO ACHIEVE THE PARK POSITION BEFORE EXITING THE VEHICLE.THE ELECTRONIC SHIFT LEVER IN YOUR VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE LIKE A CONVENTIONAL SHIFTER." I HAD THE JEEP REPAIRED AND THE DAMAGE TO OUR HOUSE GARAGE. HAD THE RECALL PREFORMED ON THE JEEP. THEY JUST FLASHED THE COMPUTER SO IF THE DOOR IS NOW OPEN THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO PARK. THE RECALL SAYS "FCA WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE FREE OF CHARGE BUT A PERMANENT REMEDY IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION AND HAVE PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED FCA WILL REIMBURSE YOU." I KNOW THE $1000 DEDUCTIBLE WE PAID TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY TO HAVE THE JEEP REPAIRED WASN'T A REPAIR TO THE SHIFTER BUT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING BROKEN WITH IT. IT WAS JUST NOT PROPERLY PROGRAMMED FROM FCA IN THE BEGINNING. I AM TRYING TO GET OUR $1000 DEDUCTIBLE REFUNDED. IF FCA DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM, WHY WERE THE JEEPS RECALLED AND REPROGRAMMED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE WAS KILLED. WE HAVE OWNED 16 JEEPS SINCE 1981. I HAVE ALL MY RECORDS AND COMMUNICATION.

I GET BACK UP AGAIN TO TRY TO STOP THE CAR, AND I FALL AGAIN. THE CAR ENDS UP ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND ALMOST FULLY TIPPING OVER THE DRIVEWAY WALL.
