Vehicle was running in park position in the driveway while consumer was loading the vehicle. Vehicle all of a sudden came out of gear, rolled backwards, engine sounded like it was racing. Contacted the dealer. Second time this happened was may 1999. Backed the vehicle out of the garage into the driveway, put in park to help daughter get something out the back, and the vehicle came out of gear, engine sounded like it was racing.
Car accelerated to about 25 MPH and struck a telephone pole. Drivers fault. The indent from the damage of hitting a pole that did not move was 12 to 18 inches directly in the middle of the bumper. No air bags deplolyed.
