A widow is suing Jaguar Land Rover after his wife was run over by her own vehicle in 2018 after thinking the car was in park.
Michael Farhat is suing on behalf of his wife, Shadi. He claims that the gear dial in the vehicles is the culprit of the accident, saying his wife had constantly complained about the dial.
“Mrs. Farhat repeatedly complained that she could not tell when the vehicle was in park, struggling to operate the gear selector that is a dial that pops out of the dashboard console and rotates to select gears,” the Daily Mail reported.
