Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a used 1999 dodge grand caravan se in 2002 with 28000 miles. the original mfg warranty had expired so we bought extended warranty. from the first week this car gave us trouble ending with a major accident due to gear shift. on the day of the accident while driving the car the gear shifted on its own from drive to lower gear. 5 min later the car when parked on my driveway moved from park to reverse on its own. since i was out of the car i was run over by the car causing severe injuries but i was lucky that i did not die. the fatality rate is over 50% in such accident but i escaped with rib fractures, internal blood loss and extensive bruising. *ak
