The tranny would jump out of gear.  It was a problem with a certain Ford 
automatic transmission of the period (either the C4 or the Cruise-o-matic, 
I can't remember which, my Fords have a C6 automatic or a NP435 manual 
tranny) Unless the tranny was firmly in park, it would slip out of gear 
while the engine was running and take off.  I imagine the typical problem 
was wear in the linkage was making people think they had it in Park, but 
the park pawl wasn't quite engaged.
