What owners wrote

While sitting on a slight incline and taking foot off of brakes to give vehicle some gas, vehicle will roll back and keep going back until driver puts foot on brake. Consumer feels this is unsafe because if someone is crossing behind it would be very easily to run him/her over. *slc
