What owners wrote
Car was shut off, locked and parked in motel parking lot. 45 minutes later, call was made to room that it had rolled across lot, down a hill and crashed into a tanker truck which was refueling @ a gas station. Car was running and in drive. I am doubly sure car had been shut off, placed in park, and locked securely. Weather had been extremely hot that day (+100 degrees).
My vehicle is having trouble starting and my fuel pump continues to pump after the vehicle is off which is killing my battery. I've only had the car for a year and its only two years old.
