What owners wrote
The vehicle was parked and idling when it suddenly went in reverse. The driver hung on to the open door of his 1994 ford escort and was dragged for 100 feet. The consumer was dragged 100 feet and had gotten trapped between the door and the pavement and was suffocated.
After we came home our car locked into park, it would not move. When my husband removed the cover , the spring inside is totally screwed up. It would be fatal if this locked up while on the highway. We have two kids this it a ford safety issue. This is the second time this has happened.
