Consumer Description

OUR SON GOT IN THE CAR BEFORE HIS MOTHER. HE MOVED THE SHIFTER AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING. THERE WAS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SHIFTER MOVES EASILY WITHOUT A KEY. MY SON WAS INSIDE THE CAR AND IT STARTED ROLLING. MY WIFE WAS WALKING TOWARD THE CAR THEN RAN AND OPENED THE DOOR TRYING TO GET INSIDE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE. MY WIFE IS 25 WEEKS PREGNANT AND WAS PULLED FROM THE CAR AND HIT BY THE DOOR AND DRUG APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET. MY SON THEN JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR INTO A DITCH WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL ROLLING AND WENT AND GOT HELP FOR HIS MOTHER. MY SON IS FINE AND SO FAR THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HARM TO THE BABY. MY WIFE HAS MULTIPLE BUMPS AND BRUISES AND A MAJOR ROAD RASH BUT IS DOING OKAY. WE WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED ASAP REGARDING THIS SITUATION. WE HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATION ALSO. PLEASE CALL US AT 812-282-5740. THANK YOU.*AK
