I agree! But that first one w/ a "Rotary" Gearshift (Range Rover) sounds like a *horrible* design. You need something that gives a definite *feedback* that it's put in each gear and especially "Park"! (Which is usually the _endpoint_ of the gear selector.) Hands can slip on a Knob.

With standard old keys, a lot of vehicles would not let you remove your key unless it was shifted into park. It was a good way of preventing people from leaving their cars if they were not in park.

@davidjacobs8558 2 года назад

well.... not quite. push button start car will automatically put the gear into parking, if you shut off the engine. which is the same thing as removing the key. but people sometimes want the engine running, while leaving the vehicle for few minutes.

@christopher88719 2 года назад

@@davidjacobs8558 Some cars might be that way. However cars like my wifes Lexus is push button start and regular shifter. So you can turn the car off and leave it the shifter in other postitions, however, it beeps at you as a warning.

@howardkerr8174 2 года назад

@@joseescobedo7899 What is unfortunate is that with newer cars the " emergency brake " is activated by pressing a button on the console. I have 2 cars: an 06 Mustang and a 2013 Fusion. The Mustang has a " regular " pull-up parking brake while the newer Fusion has a small button next to the driver's seat. The first time I used it I noticed a sound coming from the back of the car, it was a motor (I guess) pulling on the parking brake. It makes the same sound when you release/push off the parking brake. I would imagine many people ignore that button if they aren't making it a habit of pressing it on...and being a button you can't easily see if it is on, tho there is a red light on the instrument panel of both my cars that lights when the parking brake is in use.

@A22DNAL 2 года назад

I get it. We have to lay blame someplace. But I am a FIRM user of my parking brake! Like, even on LEVEL driving surfaces. I guess being an "old school" gearhead has me not wanting the car to "rest" on the transmission. I get accidents happen. I don't believe car manufacturers do these things intentionally. Drivers do bear some level of responsibility to ensure they are not distracted. Are we now going to start suing car manufacturers for these people driving w/o headlights b/c they think they are on due to the always-on backlit IPs?!

@MrWildbill 2 года назад

Sadly every one of the roll away accidents could have been prevented using something already in every single car, the emergency brake, which is easy to set and release. That said, I agree that with all of the tech already in cars adding a computer controlled safety feature to prevent this should not be that hard or costly. In the spirit of full disclosure I rarely use the emergency break myself, thus my opinion that car makers should just do this, come on Volvo embarrass everyone else into doing this by doing it first :)

@mopes2713 2 года назад

Press the emergency BRAKE and then then crank the steering wheel ALL the way to the LEFT. In event the car goes into reverse and you have half existed the car you will NOT be run over but hit by the door only which would be going inward and away from you due to the degree of the steering wheel turned left. MOST of these accidents are because the driver did not verify the shifter was NOT in the park position. It may have been in reverse and driver did not push the IGNITION ON/OFF in a car with hybrid engine operation.

@Case16710 2 года назад

Anton Yelchin who played Chekov in the recent Star Trek movies was sadly killed like this when his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards and pinned him against a pillar outside his home. The Jeep had an electronic gear selector switch that was designed to return to the neutral position after being put into park. The vehicle could be put into park, but the selector would give no confirmation that it was actually in park. Jeep sent out supplemental instructions on how to use the shifter, and ultimately recalled the cars with that shifter, replacing it with a more conventional design.

@Case16710 2 года назад

@Prince Wojak true. But the fact that drivers can’t tell what gear they’re in and that it doesn’t happen with other automatic transmissions still means these cars have a design failure.

release the foot brake, then remove the safety belt, then open the door. which will take couple seconds, and if the gear was in drive or reverse, you will feel the car moving and have time to react. if it was in neutral, then you may not be able to feel much until it's too late.

To all these drivers talking about using the parking brake/emergency brake and how this is operator error, just know that some of us were taught that you don't need to use it unless you are on a hill. I was NEVER told to use it on flat terrain. I have taken multiple driving lessons and this was not discussed. I have had a car almost roll back on me as well. I put the car in park and it went into reverse because the gear shift popped out of place. I'm glad this was brought to my attention of how dangerous this could be. Please stop being so harsh about these people's death. Many of us were not taught this and this can be fixed to minimize risk. This was a helpful report.

I agree, roll away safety should be standard equipment. Volkswagen has something similar when parked up hill called Hill Hold for like 10+yrs now. Fact is people don’t use their parking brake when parking and there’s no need to. VW won’t release the key from ignition in Drive. Keyless requires prompts and alarm to notify the driver, but also some mechanical intervention when the driver makes a mistake.
