“For a couple of months when I put my 2014 E350 sport in park it would jerk forward. Never really thought about it being a problem.

If the tree had not been there my car would have went into the front of her house. I am thankful that I am just shaken up and a little sore. …”

All power was cut from the gas pedal and I was lucky enough to be able to coast to a very small strip of median without being hit by any other vehicles. This is a very heavily trafficked area and charleston being a port city I was very fortunate that the trucks that were around me were able to avoid hitting me. …”
