Vehicle was switched out of parked gear and rolled with consumer's 3 year old son in the driver's seat. Transferred to ovsc. There were no keys in the ignition. The vehicle rolled backwards across a street and hit a tree. The child was not injured. The consumer feels that the vehicle interlock system failed causing this accident.

I supposedly had a gasket put on my vehicle but I still have a water leak. I see there were recalls on heads or gaskets. I also had brakes and rotors put on my car which I still have problem with. I have paid over$400 to get that gasket put on. When I use my air conditioner the power of my engine weakens and I hear valves rattling. I do not know the owner of the vehicle every get these things fix when there were a recall for them or not. I also had to put a transmission sensor on the vehicle. It is one thing after another for this vehicle. I thought maybe because of the age of the car. But after looking at the recall of the vehicle. I basically have to restore the vehicle. The dealer where I took my car told me that I had a recall on my brakes but I do not think they did anything about. Then I was also told that I needed work for the startling and power of my vehicle. When I purchased this vehicle after one week it was in the shop for the gasket. About a month later then I needed that transmission sensor. I do not believe my car never stopped dripping water. I do not know exact date. I still hear the roaring sound when I hit my brakes.

Vehicle was parked and not running. Then, transmission jumped out of gear and accelerated backward. The passenger door unexpectedly opened, and passenger was dragged down the hill and hit a parked car. The passenger sustained injuries, and was transported to the hospital. Vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection.

The key could be taken out of the ignition, when the gear shifter was in any position. The "ignition-park" interlock failed. Ref IE03013

The key could be taken out of ignition when the gear shifter was in any position. The consumer removed the key from the ignition, but failed to place the vehicle in park and did not engage the emergency brake, and the vehicle rolled backwards. The dealer stated a pin in the shifter popped out. Ref IE03013

While driving slowly accumulator and transmission went out. Also, vehicle got stuck in first gear. Consumer felt something dropped, and tried to pick up speed, and vehicle would not go. Contacted Chrysler, and Chrysler was not going to do anything about the problem.

Purchased car in July taken back first of water leaking through floorboard and windows seals replaced and under dash sealed next incident was while traveling down ptsm blvd at 35- 40 mph attempting to slow down for stop light, car geared up I had two feet on the brakes and blowing my horn so the women in front of me would either move or get out of the way, popped car into neutral to attempt at getting motor or transmission to gear down, standing in seat just about car lurched forward, light changed and normal operation resumed parked car in parking lot and had towed in chyrsler damler notified by dealer and sent special investigator dick perkins down from dtroit who said he would be back in touch with us after he had the car looked over, that was last week. Picked up my caron wendsday dealership said they were to stay out of it but they believed there was nothing wrong. Took car home that day without any documentation that the car was safe they stated that wouldcome from detroit. Next day had to go out of town for school vechicle then according to dealeship blew a transmission hose, which still at this time was not replaced. They had to "order the parts" thought transmission hoses were available any where. The problem is I am afraid to drive this vechile at this point I don't know what is going to happen with it next or where I was very lucky each time. The first I could have seriously injured my self or someone else the second time I was lucky again to be in an area where people were to help get it off the road any suggestions would be appreciated thank you jmcollins.
