Failure Date: 05/04/2004

Consumer stated that his 2 yr old son was able to pull his vehicle out of park without stepping on the brakes. He stated that the child was in the vehicle and was apparently playing with the gear shifter. He then moved the shift level causing the vehicle to roll backward hitting a pole and bending his front passenger side door. He stated he does not think this vehicle has a shift interlock, which will not allow the gear shifter to be moved without stepping on the brakes first. He stated he took the vehicle to the dealer and they did not know this either. The consumer stated the interlock only works when the key is in the ignition to drive.
