Wife was dropping off son at swim practice. Wife noticed son had left a drink in the Jeep. Wife placed the vehicle in park and was walking up the sidewalk to take my son his drink when she heard a noise (popping) from the direction of the Jeep. She turned to see the Jeep rolling backwards across the parking lot. My wife attempted to stop the Jeep but was knocked to the ground. The Jeep continued backward until it hit a fence and a sign pole. Damage to the Jeep includes the drivers door and hinges, scratches to the paint on the rear door, bumper and most of the drivers side of the vehicle, and a broken tail light cover. I talked with the dealer(pomoco Chrysler, Jeep in hampton) and they told me that they would not do anything but check out the transmission once the Jeep was drivable. The service manager sent a message to the factory service technician who responded the same as the dealer. The dealer indicated that I needed to contact my insurance company to start a claim.
While driving vehicle stalled. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. This car stalled no less than 12 times. Afraid to pull into traffic with this car. Power steering leaked, clicking noise from transmission when put into gear.
