| Investigations Summary: | This investigation was opened on Aug. 18, 2009. It was closed on Feb. 12, 2013. This investigation is being closed based on several considerations. By the most inclusive counting of all alleged rollaway incidents (I. E. , counting all alleged rollaway incidents and assuming a singular failure mechanism), the incident rate is low, however during ea09-013, odi identified a number of different failure mechanisms in 180 incidents related to the alleged defect. The highest rate for any particular failure mechanism, the failure of the automatic transmission parking system, was 4. 4/100k. The next-highest failure rate was for the bsi system, at 3. 4/100k. For all identified failure mechanisms there has been a drastically declining trend including very few incidents occurring in recent years. Accordingly, this investigation is closed.
