Federal safety panel flags police vehicle brake lock flaw
Federal investigators say a Minneapolis van crash showed a deactivated shift lock allowed movement from park after brake override was bypassed. Wiring brake lights to flash with emergency lights may disable shift locks in Ford Econoline vans and Crown Victoria patrol cars nationwide. Ford will issue a service bulletin urging mechanics not to disable the shift lock with aftermarket wiring. Minnesota officials note the lock would have prevented the December tragedy.
