What owners wrote
Vehicle drove backwards out of the garage while the transmission indicated that the vehicle was still in park. The vehicle accelerated and backed out if the garage on its on, no driver was in the car. The only thing that stopped the car was anther vehicle that was parked in front of our mailbox in which both were struck. I am not sure what went wrong, leaning into the car putting the key in the ignition. Turned around to talk to my son and when I turned back around I was caught by the door.
Was going to back out of my garage when I put the shifter into reverse. When the shifter was in reverse, it shifted out of gear on its own into drive and it went forward slamming front end of the vehicle into a refrigerator. Causing the refrigerator to be completely destroyed and the front end of the hood to become crooked. This is very dangerous and concerning as had their been someone in front of the vehicle it would have more than likely seriously hurt them or killed them.
