MY 1992 JEEP CHEROKEE HAS JUMPED FROM PARK TO REVERSE ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS YEAR. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, THE CAR SMASHED INTO MY BACK STEPS CAUSING ABOUT $500 DAMAGE TO THE STEPS AND $1250 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HAD BEEN IN THE CAR AND EXITED TO RETRIEVE SOMETHING FROM THE GARAGE. THE CAR WAS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED MOVING BACKWARDS TOWARD THE HOUSE. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, I FOUND THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE, NOT PARK. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXIT THE CAR IF IT HAD BEEN IN GEAR, SO I KNEW THAT SOMETHING WAS AMISS WITH THE CAR. LATER IN FEBRUARY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND I WAS THEREFORE ABLE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE TO STOPE THE CAR. *AK
