ADDITIONAL SPACE IS NEEDED TO PROVIDE A COPY OF THE COMPLAINT AND EXPERTS' OPINIONS WHICH CONTAIN THE REQUESTED INFORMATION. PLEASE PROVIDE ME AN E-MAIL ADDRESS, A MAILING ADDRESS AND/OR A FAX NUMBER. THANK YOU. *TR THE CONSUMERS 4 OLD SON WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AS THE MOTHER WAS REMOVING THE CHILD FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CHILD INADVERTENTLY MADE CONTACT WITH THE CENTER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER, WHICH CAUSED THE AUTOMOBILE TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE CONSUMER HAD HER 6 MONTH OLD SON IN HER ARMS. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HIT THE MOTHER, AND THE 6 MONTH FELL FROM HIS MOTHERS ARMS AND FELL TO THE GROUND, PARTIALLY UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD ROLLED SUFFICIENTLY TO PINCH THE CHILD BETWEEN THE ROAD AND THE TIRE. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE DIDN'T REQUIRE A SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BUTTON TO BE DEPRESSED BEFORE THE SHIFT LEVER COULD BE MOVED FROM PARK TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE TO INCORPORATE AN IGNITION SWITCH SHIFT INTERLOCK DEVICE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE KEY TO BE PLACED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION AND THE BRAKE BEING APPLIED BEFORE CHANGING GEARS CONSTITUTES A DESIGN DEFECT. UPDATED
