What owners wrote
Car was running with the shift in the park position for approximately 5 or 6 minutes. Suddenly it starting rolling fast in reverse. I was standing next to the car on the phone and when it started to roll didn't realize how fast it was moving so I tried to jump in to stop it. I was unable to make it in to the car, fell and rolled underneath it and the front tire ran over the right side of my body.
While attempting to park the vehicle in reverse, suddenly it accelerated without warning. The brakes were applied but would not engage causing the contact to crash into a car and then into a rock wall. The passenger suffered injuries to her back. A police report was filed for the incident.
