In December 1996 I was ran over by my Jeep Grand Cherokee in my driveway after it jumped back into gear from park. I reported this issue immediately to the anchorage alaska dealer who had to fix the drivers door that had been destroyed in the event and he stated there was not a problem with the gearshift. I had also reported the issue here on the NHTSA web site in January of 1997. I was taken to the air force hospital emergency room at elemendorf afb alaska and I believe submitted that information at that time. So this recent problem with an actor being killed by his Jeep is not a new issue. There was something wrong with the drive train as far back as 1996. When I was ran over my Jeep was in park running in my garage. It drug me backward into the driveway where I slipped on the ice fell under the car and my left lower leg was ran over by the front tire. I still have complications from that incident.
Vehicle jumps into neutral while stopped at lights and stop signs. Driver has to tap the gas pedal to engage the transmission.
At various speeds the transmission would start to slip. This caused the vehicle to accelerate to a higher speed than the required speed.
Consumer stated the speedometer is not registering correctly. When shut vehicle down and start back up speedometer changes readings. This also happens when driving. Nlm.
