Consumer Description

THE VAN WILL SUDDENLY ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN GEAR WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE- EVEN A SLIGHT INCLINE. RECENTLY, THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS MY VAN ALMOST ROLLED INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES, BUT IT DOES NOT OCUR EVERY TIME I AM STOPPED ON A HILL (INCLINE). WHEN IT OCCURS, THE VAN ROLLS BACK VERY FAST, NOT GRADUALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY (11/2/00) AND HE SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. HE ASLO SAID THAT HE HAS HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COME IN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. (NO OTHER CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS DONE THIS.) IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY DEFECT.*AK
