Parents sue over crash that killed 'Star Trek' actor Yelchin

"Lawsuits cheaper than recalls" phenomenon, anyone?

The Cherokee model was among 1.1 million vehicles recalled in April after regulators said its gear shifters have confused drivers, causing the SUVs to roll away unexpectedly and leading to dozens of injuries.

So not using the hand brake then? You know, the little lever that stops vehicles from rolling away...

T2,

You'll want Americans to drive manuals next.

I've only seen him in Star Trek until recently. Watched Rudderless a couple of weeks ago. I reccomend it. Terrible way to go and too young.

The actor’s 2015 Cherokee rolled backward down a driveway of his home on June 19

Anton Yelchin was sent an initial safety recall notice in May

Ehhh.... if you're stopping on a driveway that has a "down", and you received a recall notice the previous month about the Park setting on the transmission, a prudent person would be using the parking brake until the recall was performed.
