“Pulled into driveway and put car in park to get out to grab the mail. Uponretrieving the mail, I turned around to witness the vehicle rolling on my driveway and crashing through a close garage door.

In each instance it was in our driveway, parked. While unattended, the vehicle would roll down the driveway into the street, there is a slight grade in our driveway towards the street.”
NHTSA complaint #10875626, filed 2016-06, 8,300 miles“After parking in my driveway which is on a very slight angle to the street, I went inside and sat down. A few minutes later, my neighbor came to the door and told me my car was in the street. It had rolled back about 50 feet . The vehicle was still locked and showed it was in park. Thank god there were no injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #10937074, filed 2016-12, 29,000 miles“I backed the vehicle out of the garage onto the driveway, then put it in park. I left the engine running and exited the vehicle to walk in the garage. I was already in the garage and turned back to see the vehicle was moving forward. I tried to get back in to stop the car and was trapped between the door and the car. Unable to stop the vehicle, it continued forward, swiping the center garage beam and crushing me.

When exiting the store after less than 3 minutes in there, I noticed my Durango was now in the middle of the parking lot and my father was in the drivers side. Upon approaching the vehicle, my father told me that the Durango started rolling backwards. The Durango was clearly in the 'parked' position with the p lit up on the dial. …”
