Fiat Will Probe Car’s Role In Death Of Star Trek Actor

Police said in a statement Sunday that it appeared Yelchin, 27, “had exited his auto and was behind it when the vehicle rolled down a steep driveway”, pinning him between the auto and a brick mailbox pillar.

According to various reports, Yelchin’s Jeep that killed him could’ve been a auto affected by this massive recall, and allegations are starting to arise saying that a recalled Jeep is what killed Yelchin.

Fiat Chrysler released a statement on Monday saying it was investigating and it was to early to speculate on what caused the accident.

Investigators say that his Jeep was left in neutral, rolled down Yelchin’s driveway, and slammed into Yelchin.

Klinger recalled a conversation with Jarmusch about Yelchin before Klinger cast him in “Porto”. He said the death is still under investigation.

Fiat has issued a recall due to the risk that drivers could exit the vehicle without it remaining in park.

Fiat Chrysler reportedly did not yet have a fix for the recall issue. Both FCA and NHTSA concluded the alerts warning drivers that the auto is not in “Park” while the door was open were not adequate, and could result in the vehicle unintentionally rolling away.

Drivers thinking that their vehicle’s transmission is in the PARK position may be struck by the vehicle and injured if they attempt to get out of the vehicle while the engine is running and the parking brake is not engaged.

NHTSA said in April that testing of the shifter found it was “not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection”. It is believed that the Jeep’s design is to blame for the young actor’s death, since the Jeep was recalled in April. “He was so likeable on screen, particularly as that character”. You were amusing as hell, and supremely talented. “And you weren’t here almost long enough”. “As a member of the Star Trek family, he was beloved by so many and he will be missed by all”, representatives for the studio said.

Yelchin moved to the United States when he was six months old with his parents, star figure skaters with the Leningrad Ice Ballet, and made his film debut at age nine in “A Man Is Mostly Water”.
