Consumer Description

CAR WAS PARKED WITH SHIFTER IN "P" AND ENGINE OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE A BANSHEE AT FULL REVS. I HIT A BUILDING, SOME STONE STEPS, WENT OVER A CURB, AND BARELY MANAGED TO MAKE A 90 DEGREE TURN TO AVOIDING RUNNING DOWN TWO PEDERTRIANS. WHEN KEY WAS TURNED OFF THE CAR WAS STILL IN "P". IT APPEARS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL (98V183000) FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF IT. WE WILL NEVER TRUST THIS CAR TO DRIVE AGAIN AND ARE REQUESTING THAT CHRYSLER REPLACE IT.
