Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT LOCK INTO PARK IF INDICATOR IS STOPPED BETWEEN THE PARK AND REVERSE LOCATIONS. THE CAR IS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL, BUT THE INDICATOR DISPLAYS "PARK". CAR WILL ROLL IN THIS IN THIS POSITION. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED IN FIVE OTHER NEONS AND THEY ALL PORTRAY THIS CHARACTERISTIC. THIS DEFECT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHICH INJURED MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, AND RESULTED IN $3000 WORTH OF REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. AS MY WIFE EXITED VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY, WITH MY DAUGHTER IN HER CARSEAT IN THE REAR SEAT OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A POWERLINE POLE, TRAPPING MY DAUGHTER INSIDE. MY WIFE WAS PUSHED TO THE GROUND AS SHE TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. *AK
