Automatic Transmission problems of the 2010 Dodge Caravan

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Caravan. The vehicle was stopped and shifted into park when the contact exited and the vehicle began rolling backwards. The vehicle rolled over the driver, causing serious injuries. The driver was taken to the hospital to treat the injuries. The vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer where the contact was told after shifting the vehicle into park she should have made sure the gear shifter was properly engaged in the park position. The failure mileage was 7,000 and the current mileage was 8,000.

I rented a Dodge grand Caravan from national car rental at the charleston, SC airport on July 14, 2010. That evening the van slipped into reverse when I was exiting the vehicle. It knocked me down and ran over my left leg. I suffered scrapes and bruises all over my body and a bone contusion on my left knee and am now recovering. The safety of the dash mounted gear shift in this vehicle should be examined by the manufacturer. It should also be questioned by any other vehicle operator or provider.
