The lawsuit stems from an incident where a man's daughter accidentally put the car in neutral and then didn't stop it from rolling away

A new lawsuit claims late-model Mazda vehicles have a potentially dangerous defect. Apparently, they don’t effectively communicate which ignition mode they are in. The suit follows an incident where a woman failed to control her dad's car before it crashed. Pennsylvania resident Joshua Meltzer bought a brand new Mazda CX-50 in May of this year, but things quickly took a turn after his daughter got into an accident with the car. Now, he's suing Mazda , claiming a glaring defect.

For sure that's all Mazda's fault, right? Note that the suit specifically calls out the power brakes and power steering. That seems to indicate that the normal brakes and steering were functioning but not in their power-assisted mode.
