Gear shift mechanism engages without pressing foot on brake. A small child was able to put into gear. Consumer feels this is very dangerous.

I was not told there was no safety feature on this vehichle. You do not have to apply the brake to put it in gear while the car is on. So my one year old drove the Durango threw the garage. And Dodge told me it was on there the feature but the searched and did not find it. So I found out that the 2003 has this safety feature and they will not tell me why its on there now. And they will not put one on it or get us in a 2003. I thought all vehichles were suppose to have them for safety reasons like what my baby did. Please help us to get our truck child proof.
