Consumer Description

YOU CAN MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER FROM PARK TO DRIVE WITH OUT ANY CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE. NORMALLY IN OTHER VEHICLES, YOU MUST DEPRESS THE BRAKE BEFORE YOU CAN MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS A CHILD COULD TAKE HOLD OF THE SHIFT LEVER AND MOVE IT INTO GEAR CAUSING A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT/INJURY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEIR RESPONSE WAS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, THEY ALL DO THAT!*AK
