1997 Chrysler Town And Country transmission problems

My mother was driving a 1997 chrysler town & country mini-van when she stopped to pick up yard sale signs. When she stopped the vehicle and placed it park, she exited the van and started walking towards the rear of the van when it self-shifted into reverse, known as the park-to-reverse defect. The van knocked my mother down and pinned her under the van where she died from blunt force trauma to the head. This is a known defect but has never been recalled in chrysler vehicles.

Vehicle stalled, and consumer had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. Arriving a tschool the transmission failed in traffic. Had to push it into the parking lot, then called tow truck. Contacted nanufacturer after discovering that this was a very common failure, but not recall item.
