Consumer Description

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, MY 4 YEAR OLD KNOCKED IT OUT OF GEAR, COME TO FIND OUT THAT IT GOES FROM THE PARKED STATUS TO THE 1ST GEAR WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE KEY IN OR PUSH THE BRAKE PETAL TO TAKE IT OUT OF GEAR IT IS FREE FLOWING, AND VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS VERY FORTUNATELY LOADING SOME GROCERIES WHEN IT HAPPENED AND WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A VERY NICE PERSON WALKING BY, WERE ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO PARK AND NO INJURIES ACCRUED, I DREAD TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ONE OF MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY POSITION, WHAT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN. *NLM
