POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
I LEFT CAR IDLING IN PARK, WENT IN HOUSE AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND SAW THE CAR BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND IT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THIS WAS ON LEVEL GROUND. I CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN MY FAULT. THIS CAR ULTIMATELY WENT BACK TO DEALER ON THE LEMON LAW IN AUGUST OF 99. THE DIALS WENT OFF WHEN I WAS TRAVELING, THE AIR WENT OFF, THE LOCKS WOULDN'T WORK NOR THE AIR CONDITIONING. THIS WOULD LAST A FEW MINUTES AND THEN COME BACK ON. IT WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ABOUT TEN TIMES AND FOR MORE THAN THIRTY DAYS. I TRIED TO HAVE THEM TAKE BACK THE CAR BUT THEY REFUSED SO I WENT THE LEMON LAW ROUTE. I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE CAR IS NOW. I WILL FORWARD TO YOU IN ANOTHER EMAIL WHAT I WROTE INTO YOUR REGIONAL OFFICE ON FRIDAY NIGHT.*AK
