The other day the consumer parked car while rushing and took the key out of the ignition while the vehicle was in drive. The vehicle rolled backward and hit the neighbor's fence. The consumer had the key. It felt like the vehicle should have had some type of safety feature to keep the key from coming out of the ignition. This happened on September 12, 2005. Had not contacted the dealer.
