What owners wrote
I exited the vehicle and it rolled backward. I was struck by the door and crushed between the car and an adjacent brick wall.
It is an ongoing issue and that happens intermittently. When arriving to a stop (at times) the car still advances forward about a foot, even when the brake pedal is being used as far as it can. Also the vehicle claims to be losing propulsion, often, and seems strained when operating when the message appears.
