I HAVE A 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL VEHICLES MUST BE MADE SO THAT A CAR CAN NOT BE PUT IN GEAR WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE. CURRENTLY, IF MY VEHICLE IS IN PARK I CAN JUST PULL DOWN ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT WILL GO INTO GEAR, WITHOUT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS SURPRISED AS OUR 1996 JEEP HAD BEEN RECALLED SO THEY COULD FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY 3 YR OLD SON PUT MY CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED ROLLING FORWARD AND WAS STOPPED BY A PARKED CAR. WE ONLY MOVED 2 FT IN A PARKING LOT, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD WE BEEN ON A HILL OR SOMETHING. *JB
