NHTSA Complaint #10626824 — 2006 FORD E-350

STARTED THE VAN TO PULL AHEAD ABOUT 5FT FORWARD IN MY DRIVEWAY. AS I DROPPED IT INTO DRIVE THE VAN TOOK OFF LIKE A BAT OUT OF [XXX]. SMASHING INTO MY CLASSIC CORVETTE PUSHING IT THREW THE BACK WALL OF THE GARAGE AND ALMOST TAKING OUT TWO OF MY 2- YEAR OLD GRAND CHILDREN WHO WHERE PLAYING IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME. I PULLED THE VAN TO THE RIGHT OF THE GARAGE CRASHING AND BURYING THE VAN ABOUT 8FT DEEP INTO THE GARAGE WALL. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD DID THE CORVETTE NOT HIT THE TWO GRAND KIDS AS IT SAILED THROUGH THE GARAGE 26 FT AND OUT THE BACK WALL. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES AND MY GARAGE, BUT THANK GOD MY GRAND KIDS WERE NOT HURT. FORD IS PUTTING PROFIT BEFORE PEOPLE BY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.
