What owners wrote
The car was in park in the driveway with the engine running. Without putting the car in drive, the car rolled forward after I exited the vehicle. I quickly turned to get back in the car to stop the vehicle, as it was rolling towards my other car in the driveway. In doing so, I suffered a knee injury, fell to the ground I injured my knee and was unable to stop the vehicle before it made contact with my other car. The injury to my knee was significant, required surgery, and I have still not returned to work.
I was driving on a straight, level dry road with cruise control set at 58MPH. Suddenly car began to downshift. Assuming transmission problem I disengaged cruise control and car almost came to a stop. I pushed gas pedal and drove in low gear to nearest pull-off. Discovered left front brake was smoking. After things cooled off I drove car in low gear about 6 miles to local service station. Mechanic found all brakes locked and removed all wheels.
