What owners wrote
My daughter was backing out of the garage onto a sloped driveway, applied the brake, shifted into park gear selector, exited auto to retrieve something from garage. Noticed the car rolling , attempted to get in the car, as her two children were in the rear (ages 6 &9).car rolled over her leg, resulting in major compound fracture, resulting in extensive surgery, metal rod and screws in her leg. Car rolled backwards crossing street into ditch. Police report indicates engine was still running with gear in reverse .
I have had shaking in steering wheel at 60-70 MPH and brakes cause the car to shudder. The brakes grabbed when lightly touched them at 70 MPH to avoid a truck that pulled into my lane. Afraid that vehicle will lose control due to sudden brake and shudder in steering.
