| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I drove to a restaurant about one mile from my house and parked nose-in to a curb in a parking lot. i placed the car in first gear, as always, and engaged the emergency brake. as i and my three companions left the car, i clicked the remote keyless lock, as i usually do. after dinner, we came out to return home. my husband was to drive back, so i again used my remote keyless entry clicker and the car unlocked. my husband held open the passenger-side front door for me, and i sat in the front seat, the clicker in my hand, but no button activated. before my husband could shut the door, the car started (note: no key in the ignition), and climbed the curb in front. it stalled, then started again and continued up and over the bushes in front. i was the only one in the car. there was no key in the ignition. i was on the passenger side of the front seat. the car does not have a remote ignition. the car is a manual transmission. the emergency brake was still on. the front bumper of the car separated as we backed off the bush.*ak |
