| Description of the problem | On september 17, 2016 around 8pm, i put the van in park took my foot off the break and stepped out. As i went to move and shut the door, the van popped out of park into reverse. The door pushed me down onto the ground and dragged me, as my body was free of the door my left arm was run over by the front tire and the van kept going. My mother in law was still in the passenger seat trying to stop the van. She finally stopped it, but it was to late, my arm was already run over resulting in a very serious crush injury that had to have emergency sugery. I now have metal plates in my left arm that will never be removed. I have pain every day and because of this, i had to return the vehicle to the finance company because i cannot work now. My fiance drove the vehicle several times after the incident and he also had the vehicle pop out of park into reverse but he was still in the driver's seat and able to stop it. |
