What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 buick lacrosse. While the vehicle was parked in a residential garage with the engine turned off, the vehicle unexpectedly reversed into the side of the garage door and continued to roll, crashing into a curb which stopped the vehicle. The driver side door and four rims were damaged. The driver side door required replacement and in addition, there was a dent above the front passenger side bumper.
