Consumer Description

IF IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED ONLY SLIGHTLY TOWARDS "ON" POSTION(NOT AT ACC POSITION), STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKS AND GEARSHIFT IS UNLOCKED, DEFEATING THE ELECTRIC INTER-LOCK FEATURE ON BRAKE PEDAL/GEARSHIFT. OUR THREE YEAR OLD ENTERED OUR CAR (KEYS IN IGNITION) AND DID JUST THAT. I TESTED SIX OTHER FORD PRODUCTS WITH AUTOTRANS. AND THEY DID THE SAME THING. THIS IS SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH TOOK A THREE YEAR OLD CRASHING OUR VAN TO FIND ! THANK GOD HE IS SAFE.*AK
