“I put my car in park while still running and exited it to grab something about 15 feet away on a front porch. I heard the engine make a noise, I turned my head and saw the car starting to move towards me up a slight hill on its own. I ran to the car, opened the driver door, and tried to stop it but fell. The car ran over my foot and hit the front of the house that caused it to stop. Prior to this incident it was in for service for a foul odor that was coming from inside of my car. They had it in the shop twice and made a repair that did not fully correct the issue. …”
