I pulled in front of my in laws house. Put my jeep in park unbuckled my
seat belt, and leaned into back seat and adjusted my baby's head
because she had fallen asleep in route. I then exited my jeep walked in
front and around the jeep to the front door. I stood there a few
minutes talking to my mom in law. I then saw my jeep DRIVING AWAY by
its self!
It just took off. No one was even near it. In turn, I ran after it. It
hit a flower bed which made turn and go down a 30ft incline into a
freezing pond. I jumped in and swam out to her my father in law heard
me screaming. He swam out, we couldn't open the doors the speed had
picked up enough to make the automatic lock to lock! My baby was inside
drowning. The lock on the doors finally pop open. I give God the credit
{but some people say the electrical stuff got wet and it made it
unlock.} But then it was too late. The water pressure was to strong & I
couldn't open the door .My father in law was smart enough to pull
himself on top of the jeep causing it to tilt enough for me to open the
door. I almost drowned & so did my baby we all ended up in ICU but my
father in law DIED he had a massive heart attach in the water and died
helping to save my baby! When I got her out he was face down in the
water! I had NO choice but to try to swim back to the docks and save my
baby! Chrysler had a recall on 05 & 06 because of a misplaced part in
the transmission. Over 400,000 of them. Chrysler SAID it didn't
apply to 04's. I found out ALL transmissions for 03,04,05 &06 were
and are the same. They all were assembled from the same product line.
Chrysler even sent a their people across country to look at my jeep.
Why would they do that if the KNEW it only applied to 2005 & 2006??? I
know for a fact my car was in park that night! Something went wrong
with the jeep. My statue of limitations for court expires Jan. 07. My
time is running out to get justice for my mother in law! I am
desperately looking for someone who has had similar trouble with the
transmission. Please contact me & BE CAREFULL! PARENTS BEWARE JEEP
LIBERTYS CAN come out of gear when ignition is left running, ACCELERATE
AND DRIVE OFF BY ITSELF!!!

Re: death by liberty
 

There are enough of these beasts around, I think if there really was a
problem we would have heard about it by now (as we have with the ball
joint problem).

IF this story is true I suspect the author didn't really have the Jeep
in Park... and if it really is true my condolences... it's a very sad
story no matter who is at fault.

Re: death by liberty
 

The stupidity and lack of common sense I see on a regular basis never fails
to amaze me. I think the average person if they even ever think about
accidents like this, feel that "it won't happen to me."

I often see people get out of their vehicle "just for a minute," with the
engine running at the library, coffee shop, mail box, etc. Of course the
parking brake is almost never used. I've read multiple news stories over the
years about vehicles "slipping out of gear" where folks have been crushed
against a wall or run over by their unattended vehicle.

What is so difficult about turning off an ignition key, then re-starting the
engine when needed?

If for whatever reason, you feel must exit a vehicle with the engine
running, at least apply the parking brake HARD! Many times, the engine
power can easily overcome a normally applied parking brake, even at idle.

If I had a baby or child in the vehicle, I would ABSOLUTELY NEVER exit the
vehicle with the engine running. Just plain stupid!
