I PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. I LEFT THE CAR AND TURNED AROUND TO LOOK AT SOMETHING AND THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. EVIDENTLY, THE SHIFTER FOR THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS EITHER BUMPED BY THE DOG OR BUMPED WHEN I PICKED UP MY PURSE - AND THIS LEVER OVERRIDES THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK. NO KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION ? THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT PRESSED - THE CAR WAS IN PARK!!!! A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LEAVER ON THE CONSOLE CAN BE MOVED WITH NO KEYS, NO PRESSING OF THE BRAKE (WHICH IS REQUIRED TO MERELY TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK WHEN YOU DO HAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION) AND NO SAFETY SWITCH................ I ALMOST WAS RUN OVER BY THE CAR BUT WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BY JUMPING BACK IN - WHICH ALSO COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS ISN'T A MAJOR ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR
