If the women in question had her car in PARK, the car could not, would not move foward. This is a hydraulic transmission not an electronic controlled transmission like Chrysler had so many problems with.
Have you noticed that after all the reports of runaway Audi 5000's
that it doesn't happen any more. There aren't as many of them on the road, yes, the real reason is because people learned that the right pedal is for go, the left for stop. The reports of people claiming they had their foot on the brake and the car just took off was also impossiable. The 500 has 4 good sized disc brakes and no wimpy 120 hp
engine is going to overpower them.
Here is an url about that poor women who ran her own child over.
