Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was cleaning out my van on friday, february 4, 2005 after work while my 3 kids played outside. my van started rolling backward down the driveway (in park, car off, key out of ignition enough so it wouldn't beep at me) my 8 year old daughter had been sitting in the driveway behind my van drawing with sidewalk chalk. she had gotten up to get something out of her dad's car just in time to avoid being run over. my passenger door was open and so was his so they collided as my van rolled backwards down the drive. i hopped in the van and tried to apply the brake, but the only thing that stopped my van from rolling in to the road was his car. they "locked" together. i contacted chrysler and they did send an inspector out, but a couple weeks later denied any responsibility. i am very thankful that my daughter was not behind my van and hurt or killed by this freak accident, but needed to record this incident in case others have similar problems. *ak
