So young...

“On Sunday, June 19 at 1:10 in the morning, a fatal traffic collision occurred. It was the result of the victim’s own car rolling backwards down his steep driveway, pinning him against a brick mailbox pillar and security fence. The victim was on his way to meet his friends for rehearsal. And when he didn’t show up, his friends went to his house, where they found him deceased by his car. It appeared he had momentarily exited his car leaving it in the driveway.”

Introduced my daughter to Star Trek (2009) last night. Found this out just before we started watching Star Trek Into Darkness tonight. I feel weird every time he appears on screen.

How long before someone blames Jeep and their "poorly designed" shifter?

I DO, who in the HELL needs an 'electronic shifter?' really now, a simple 4 speed trans, and a lever to the shifter like always is the way to go, that electronic crap gives the driver NO indication or confidence that the thing is actually in FACT in PARK!!! stupid shit make work design....

so much of modern cars is just CRAP, just to sell something NEW.....

BULLSHIT!!!! LOAD up the modern cars with ten speed transmissions....when 4 will do nicely, make the transmission cost over ten grand to overhaul, reduce the tolerances to such a minuscule amount that basically it's not fixable.....

yeh, right....bend over public....bend over.....

I will drive my '72 SBC vette till HELL freezes over.....and if that happens, buy another one.....

It was probably due to one of these stupid shifters.

Looks to be about 50 minutes.

Wait. There are people who defend this design? One that even Chrysler has recalled and changed?
