[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1384686, member: 14668"] This is the first time I have heard an explanation for what actually happened, and it makes sense. The keyless may not have malfunctioned, but having to try and cycle through it under stress during a rollaway made an already bad situation even worse. The car in question looks to be an 80's vintage GMC with manual steering, a 4.3l V6 engine and a 4 speed stick shift. The driver would have been better off having a key in the ignition switch, it would have been easier to get the car restarted that way. Had he not panicked, he also could have stopped it by double-clutching and jamming the stick into first gear or reverse. My guess is that he tried the park brake but it was probably too loose to stop the car. I don't know why the company spent the money installing keyless ignition in a dinosaur that was 2 years away from the scrap heap anyway. [/QUOTE]
