I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK AND FOUND THAT IF YOU TURN THE KEY ONE CLIP FORWARD YOU CAN PULL THE SHIFT LEVER INTO ANY GEAR INCLUDING NEUTRAL WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. I CHECKED AROUND AND FOUND THAT ANY CHEVROLET TRUCK, VAN OR PICKUP ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2003 WILL DO THE SAME THING. I HEARD BUT DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT A YOUNG BOY WAS HURT WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY AND PULLED THE LEVER DOWN CRASHING THE TRUCK. *NM
