| Parking Brake problems |
While my car was off and parked in my garage (with no keys in ignition), my 6 year old son was able to move the gear shift from "park" to "neutral/drive". He later showed me how he used "both his hands and pulled really hard. " my car rolled out of the garage, crossed the busy street and into the neighbors drive way (with my son in it!!!!!!). It then started to roll forward towards me and the street . . . . Until I could open the door and slam my foot on the brakes. I was unable to get the gear back into the "park" position and had to be pushed back into my garage. I then inserted the key to place the car into "park. ".
