May i have your attention please . Reporr Anton Yelchin was pinned and killed by his own car, a 2015 jeep grand cherokee. But last summer, federal safety investigators began looking into complaints about the gear shifter in jeep grand cherokees, chrysler 300s and dodge chargers.

But judy borlin says, a month later, she still didnt know about the recall, when her car that she thought was in park, rolled over her legs. That recall notice arrived a few days later. Chrysler says the shifter did not fail, blaming the rollaways on drivers who didnt realize their cars werent in park. The company is now offering a software fix and a new Warning System for those recalled cars, but youll notice, in the 2016 model, chrysler has gone back to a more traditional shifter design.
