1997 PLYMOUTH GRAND VOYAGER — POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH

I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND HAVE TAKEN REPORTS TWICE ON GRAND VOYAGERS WHERE THEY HAVE POPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED UNNATTENDED. ON 5-10-2000 MY SISTERS VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED ON MY GRADED DRIVE DID THE SAME. IT NEARLY RAN ME OVER AND STRUCK MY VEHICLE. HER TRANSMISSION CAN BE PUT INTO GEAR WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. THE SAME WAS TRUE FOR THE TWO REPORTS I TOOK IN MY OFFICIAL CAPACITY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS A MANDATED FEATURE IT ONLY LASTS SO LONG AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A MATTER THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE THE DEFECT RESULTS INTO A FATALITY. *AK
