The consumer owns a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. She came home on Sunday night and when pulling into the driveway her husband got out to do something. When the consumer left the vehicle her son went from the back seat to the front seat and vehicle began to roll backwards down the driveway before she could do anything to her son. However, husband was able to throw a truck tire behind the vehicle and stop the vehicle. The consumer lived in front of a major highway and this could have resulted in three deaths or injuries. The consumer was holding the key in her hand when the vehicle rolled down the driveway. Checking later, she found that any time the key was not in the ignition the gear shifter moved even without applying the brake. She took vehicle to dealer, and dealer stated that they could not repair vehicle because it was manufactured that way. Service department manager stated that there was a certain period of VIN time when that came out, and he could not alter something that was not by the book.
