Vehicle was in the park position, when the key was turned in the off position the car started to roll backward down a hill dragging my child with it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet cruze. While the vehicle was parked, the key turned, the radio worked, and the gear shifter indicator moved up and down the scale. The check engine warning indicator also illuminated. The vehicle failed to start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
