What owners wrote
Vehicle was stopped on a steep city street behind another vehicle turning left. Vehicle went to move forward and turn left and it shut off and rolled backwards down the steep hill. Wheel could not be turned, brakes could not be pressed, when gas was pressed it did not go forward, it rolled backwards it was like it shut off after being in auto stop mode. Parking brake assist came on automatically and vehicle rolled into a cement pole. Vehicle was able to be restarted. Parking brake would not release.
We parked and exited the vehicle (turning it off) on a slight grade as we normally do in the front of our house on a public street. We awoke the next morning to discover that the vehicle had advanced or slid forward approximately 15' coming to rest against a telephone pole adjacent to our corner property. If the telephone pole was not in the path of the vehicle it would have crossed a side street and come to rest in our neighbors front yard.
