What owners wrote
My vehicle rolled backwards down a hill and crashed into a waterfountain and a tree in my front yard. Backing out of my garage I stopped quickly after just exiting my garage on a slope of about 6% grade. I had spilled coffee, I put the vehicle into park and stepped out when the car abruptly rolled backward. Both of my children were strapped in their seats and I tried to leap back across the drivers seat with my legs hanging out the door. We traveled 50 feet before hitting the waterfountain and tree.
