Vehicle went into reverse when gear shifter was brushed lightly by a child because there was no shift interlock system. Dealer has been notified. Consumer was injured while attempting to stop vehicle, she was hit with the door on left side and twisted her ankle. *slc
I am a day care provider and while I was transporting five small children, my 2000 dodge caravan's transmission blew on the interstate with no warning. I was horrified and we were left stranded for nearly an hour. I recently had the transmission fluid changed, and oil changed prior to this incident. My vehicle had approximately 80 thousand miles on it. I keep up with maintenance. After having it towed to the dealership and finding out it was going to cost over $2000 to fix, I made several phone calls.
