problem #1

With the key switched "on" (engine not running), the transmission can be easily shifted without depressing the brakes. This can cause serious injury if a child is involved and the airbag deployes. We tried this on our van after a friend had a 3 yr old child shift their Ford Expedition into neutral and run through a wall. Our vehicle shifted very easily every time we tried it.
