Consumer Description

WAS PARKED AT A CONVIENCE STORE AND PLACED IN PARK. WHILE INSIDE THE STORE THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPED FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING IDLED SO HIGH FROM THE FACTORY THE VEHICLE BACKED INTO THE STREET AND STRUCK A 95 DODGE PICKUP CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THIS OCCURED ONE OTHER TIME BUT NO DAMAGE OCCURED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEFORE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. THERE WERE WITNESSES TO THE INCIDENT ON 11-20-01.*AK
