NHTSA complaint: 1999 TOYOTA SIENNA — POWER TRAIN
THE CAR WAS OFF, THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. SHE TOUCHED THE SHIFTER AND IT WENT BETWEEN PARK AND REVERSE; THE CAR STARTED ROLLING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY. SHE DID NOT PRESS THE BRAKE (SHE IS UNABLE TO) BUT THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE. THE VAN HIT A TREE. WE CHECKED AND THE CAR WAS IN BETWEEN PARK AND REVERSE. SO, SOMEHOW, THE CAR REVERSED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK, TURNED OFF, AND THE BRAKE WAS NOT TOUCHED. *JS
