I have the incident recorded on video, but I am unable to upload it to this website. I will happily forward it by email or other means if requested. I also have photos of the garage damage. …”
NHTSA complaint #11299571, filed 2020-01, 26,000 miles“No accident happened yet but I believe one will. This car is equipped with a rotary transmission selector for drive by wire transmission and has an auto engine stop start feature. This start stop feature can be disabled after the vehicle is started, but cannot be set by default to disable this feature.

She had to get into the car and press the break. These conditions have happened when the car was at a stop or parked. I have started to record when it happens if it is safe to do so. …”
