Description of the problem	Re: keyless ignition systems. This was a rental car so i don't know vin or mileage, or exact year. I rented a car last week in san diego, my first experience with keyless ignitions. I only had the car for one day and was not used to this system. Late at night i parked car, pushed the ignition to "off" started to get out of the car, when car started driving forward because i had forgotten to put it in park. I was knocked down in the middle of the street, it was pitch black outside, i had no idea what was happening, until i saw the car driving away. I managed to chase the car and jump back inside before it hit anything. However, my knee was torn up really bad, and i am still dealing with the injury more than a week later. Not having any warning/safety measure to let people know that the car is not in park, coupled with a whisper quiet engine, is a totally dangerous combination, and clearly deadly from many on line accounts i have read. Don't know how this ridiculous idea ever made it to factory, much less approved without any warning system in place. I hate these cars and think they should be recalled. At least in a regular car the keys will not come out of the ignition of the car is not in the 'park' position. I am lucky the car did not run over me, or someone innocent bystander. But i would imagine there have been many accidents like mine that ended much worse. Like i said, these cars are dangerous and should be recalled, and this system should be illegal.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
