I rented a dodge grand caravan from national car rental at the charleston, sc airport on july 14, 2010. That evening the van slipped into reverse when I was exiting the vehicle. It knocked me down and ran over my left leg. I suffered scrapes and bruises all over my body and a bone contusion on my left knee and am now recovering. The safety of the dash mounted gear shift in this vehicle should be examined by the manufacturer. It should also be questioned by any other vehicle operator or provider.
