Vehicle shifted into reverse by it self after idling in park for about 30 seconds, it rolled back causing the driver's door (which was open) to hit the bumper of a parked car thus damaging the door and the left front fender. I personally saw and heard the moment the vehicle shifted into reverse, I was about 20 feet away from the vehicle when I saw the back up lights come on and the vehicle start to roll back.
My wife stopped to pickup our 6 y/o son from the babysitter. She put the van in park and left the van running. (the rest of the event was seen by my wife and the babysitter) my 3 y/o son climb out of his car seat , from the rear seat. He climbed into the driver seat and put the van in gear without pressing the brake. The van began to move forward down the street, picking up speed. Wife tryed to catch the van to stop it. Luckly my son turned the steering wheel to the left. The van jumped the curb and ran into a mobile home. Every car I have driven, you must press the brake before the car will go into gear. The dealer didn't tell us of this feature. We would have bought another model(we have 3 kids). What I need to know is : being able to put the van into drive without pressing on the break , a safty recall?

We purchased the vehicle because it only had 21,486 at three years old and they called it certified. When the air conditioning went out they refused to even reimburse us part of it because we did not have the extended warranty. We have the powertrain a this point until 70,000 miles. We have had engine knocking, which our mechanic added an additive to and seemed to go away but now at the end of August seems to be returning. The tires were terrible at what seemed to us to be low mileage. We had sensors that went and caused the transmission to downwshift so our mechanic repaired. We have submitted that one bill to Chrysler because it turns out it was a powertrain issue on that. We have not received reimbursement yet. …
Over the past 5 years - since the replacement my serpentine belt on my 2000 Chrysler Voyager has popped off 4 or 5 times. Since our local dealer is no longer here I had to pay $93.21 today to have the belt put back. The mechanic checked the belt and tensioner and found both in practically brand new condition and good working order. He could not find a reason why it would come off. Each time it has come off was after a rain. In researching this problem online I found that it has happened a lot to many others also. My former dealer's mechanics also could not explain why this occurs. This is a dangerous situation that needs a quick and permanent solution since all the power controls such as steering are managed by this one belt. Once out you no longer have any power assisted steering. Updated 06/30/11 updated 07/01/11
