Consumer Description

THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE WAS PARKED WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. MY 7 YEAR OLD GRANDSON GOT IN THE VEHICLE FIRST. HE KNOCKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING, I TRIED TO GET IN BUT I COULDN'T WITH IT ROLLING. IT HIT A VAN AND MY DRIVERS DOOR CAUGHT ON THE FRONT OF THE VAN PUSHING MY DRIVERS DOOR COMPLETELY BACK. I WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES. MY 4 YEAR OLD GRANDKIDS (TWINS) COULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE SANTA FE OR ANOTHER CHILD SINCE WE WERE AT A BALL FIELD. NOW WE NOTICE THE SANTA FE CAN BE EASILY PULLED OUT OF PARK WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. *TR
