Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON AN INCLINE SUBURBAN CITY STREET. THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AFTER DRIVING AND PLACING GEAR IN THE PARK POSITION. I WAS ABLE TO REMOVE IT AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE NEUTRAL GEAR POSITION. HOWEVER, THIS PRESENTED A HAZARD AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD AND SIDE SWIPED A STATIONARY VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.
