What is the False Park defect and might it have caused my accident?
The “false park” or “park to reverse” transmission defect affects certain model vehicles. Drivers believe they are putting the car into park, but they are actually putting the car into an illusory position somewhere in between park and reverse. Because of this, slight shifts in the car (such as a person getting out) can cause the car to go into reverse, even when the vehicle is running, and this has caused serious injuries and deaths. Two wrongful death cases have already been successfully litigated, and hundreds of accidents have occurred.
