“Since the car was purchased new in december 2008 if you put the gear shift in neutral (not park) and switch off the ignition then exit the car and the car is on a slope it can roll away. This has occurred twice over the years, once I exited the car and my wife had to dive over the console and take control. I filed a complaint with nhtsb and repeatedly requested to the dealer to fix it to no avail.”

I got out and saw flames shooting from under the bumper. With the fire department on the way, we made several attempts to put the fire out w/water to no avail.
