2:45Now PlayingStar Trek star Anton Yelchin was recently found dead after his Jeep rolled and pinned him against a security gate. This may have been the result of a recalled defect in the shift lever. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"In the wake of a tragedy like the untimely passing of Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin, everyone wants answers. How could a driver end up being pinned by the very vehicle they had just exited? The answer might be found in Jeep's poorly designed shift lever.
Starting in 2014, Fiat Chrysler, which owns Jeep, began utilizing an untraditional style of shifter in some of its vehicles. Unlike the shifters we all know, which can be pushed or pulled to set the car into the desired gear, Jeep's new shifter tilts backwards or forwards and then springs back to its original location...
The design was so clunky that Fiat Chrysler eventually had to do a massive recall. Drivers were accidentally leaving their cars in neutral after thinking they had pushed the shifter far enough to place it in "park." Some customers had their vehicles roll away, unmanned, though no deaths from the incidents had been reported. The company's recall affected 1.1 million vehicles in total, and the shifter itself has been replaced in new models.”*
