Consumer Description

I PARKED MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN THE BANK FLAT PARKING LOT. I PUT IT IN N' AND PULLED THE E BRAKE AND PLACED MY KEYS IN THE CUP HOLDER OF THE JEEP. I WALKED INSIDE AND WAITED IN LINE UNTIL SOMEONE TOLD ME A RED JEEP WAS GOING BACKWARDS DOWN THE MAIN ROAD. I RAN OUT OF THE BANK, DOWN THE ROAD TO FIND MY JEEP STOPPED BY A BRICK WALL WITH THE BRAKE STILL PULLED. NOT ONLY DID IT DRIVE BACKWARDS ON A VERY BUSY ROAD IT MADE A LEFT HAND TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEN AGAIN AT THE LIGHT WHERE IT RAN INTO THE WALL. LUCKY FOR EVERYONE IT WAS A GOOD DRIVER AND DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANY CAR. TWO MEN WHO RECOVERED THE JEEP WHERE SHOCKED TO FIND NO ONE IN IT. *TR
