Consumer Description
THE PUSH BUTTON ON/OFF SWITCH DOES NOT PROTECT AGAINST TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF IF TRANSMISSION IS ACCIDENTALLY LEFT IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN 'P'. FOR EXAMPLE ITS POSSIBLE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'R' AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. FOR A BUSY PARENT (TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC OF THIS VEHICLE), THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE WILL START ROLLING FORWARD OR BACKWARD (DEPENDING ON INCLINE/SLOPE AND R/D TRANSMISSION POSITION). THERE SHOULD BE A SAFEGUARD OR A BEEP/WARN SYSTEM TO PROTECT THE DRIVER/OCCUPANTS THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY LEFT TRANSMISSION IN 'R' AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF. I TOOK FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND GOT OUT AND REALIZED VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS.
