When engine is on and in park, consumer is able to move into any gear without pressing the brakes. Consumer called Chrysler corporation to complain. They would not take the complaint. Consumer advised consumer to be careful not to accidentally hit the gear shift when the vehicle was on.
I was not told there was no safety feature on this vehichle. You do not have to apply the brake to put it in gear while the car is on. So my one year old drove the Durango threw the garage. And Dodge told me it was on there the feature but the searched and did not find it. So I found out that the 2003 has this safety feature and they will not tell me why its on there now. And they will not put one on it or get us in a 2003. I thought all vehichles were suppose to have them for safety reasons like what my baby did. Please help us to get our truck child proof.
