What owners wrote
The consumer's vehicle was parked on a flat surface with the engine off. When the occupants exited the vehicle it rolled backwards and struck the concrete base of a light post. The gear shift was in drive and the keys were not in the ignition when the vehicle rolled backwards. *nlm
Premature torque converter failure...it fell apart and tore up the transmission. It's a safety issue because that happening on a ca freeway can be potentially deadly. It's a known defect in the cars. My daughter was on the freeway when it started to slip and bang, fortunately the were able to get off the freeway before it got worse.
