I rented one of these a couple of times.
The shifter is kind of funky.
My older Grand Cherokee was much better with the shifter.

Uh, that’s why they put a steering wheel in the veh and suggest that when parked on a hill, an appropriate wheel angle be selected.

Thanks for the reminder. I have a service call on Thursday to fix a possible issue with a wiring harness.
I might catch fire.
Hope I don’t.

It does not look like the “SUV” killed anyone. It looks like the driver got out of the vehicle while driving and was crushed to death. Sad and tragic, but SUV didn’t kill.

Yep. Chintzy lever that returns to a middle position so looking at it doesn’t reveal whether it is in park or not.
With the arrival of electronic rather than mechanical shifting, a lot of vehicles have floppy little joystick shifters.

Those SUVs tend to have antisocial behavior.
Acting out and being violent and the like.
Its typically due to poor parenting by the SUVs family.

Between SUV deaths, gun violence, food deserts and drug overdosing: we are a doomed species.

Lot of crappy shifters out there now. People were used to the normal layout for decades and we are suddenly flooded with odd layouts. BMW is another one.

SUV’s are killers. We should put a temporary ban on them until we figure out how to screen these killers.

It reads almost like one of those grisly deaths the bodachs from that Dean Koontz movie would arrange for anybody they suspect can see them.

Shifter? What about the parking brake?

If he drove a newer V6 Acura, he’d still be alive.
The transmission is push button. If you open the door and go more than about a tenth of a mile an hour, the brake locks up and the transmission goes into park.
It’s slightly annoying if you’ve got the door open trying to squeeze past something but the mirrors turn down and the backup camera is good so that’s not really an issue.
