| Description of the problem | The hyundai santa fe was parked without the key in the ignition on a slight incline. My 7 year old grandson got in the vehicle first. He knocked the vehicle out of park. When the vehicle started rolling, i tried to get in but i couldn't with it rolling. It hit a van and my drivers door caught on the front of the van pushing my drivers door completely back. I was caught between the two vehicles. My 4 year old grandkids (twins) could have been behind the santa fe or another child since we were at a ball field. Now we notice the santa fe can be easily pulled out of park without the key in the ignition. |
