The design flaw prompted a recall that included 2014-15 Jeep Grand Cherokees as well as 2012-14 Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s as affected models. At the time of the recall, 121 accidents and 41 injuries were attributed to the flaw."

It moves from park to neutral, bypassing reverse? If that is the case, then I recant.
Otherwise I thought it was a parking brake issue.
If it was because of the defect, his family is going to get mega bucks. Unless the lawyers can prove that the owner of the car had prior knowledge of the defect and didn't bring the car in during the recall? LOL Interesting to see where this shit lands. |
