Narrative

The vehicle shifter design on this vehicle enables the shifting of the vehicle into an undesired gear without driver knowledge. I have shifted into reverse countless times when trying to shift to park or neutral when trying to shift to drive. I was attempting to hookup a trailer at a slight incline when I needed to adjust the vehicle slightly. I attempted to shift to drive but went to neutral. When I removed my food from the gas I rolled back into the trailer. This damaged my vehicle and could have serious consequences if a person is between the trailer and vehicle. This shifter need to be replaced before someone is injured or killed.
