“My 2008 Nissan altima, when parked on a slight incline rolled independently and collided with and damaged a parked vehicle. The car was in park and locked and I was walking away when I noted that the vehicle was moving. Following the crash I unlocked the car, started the car and moved it from the scene. I have since had it examined by the Nissan dealership. They found no defect with the transmission, brakes or other systems. They said that there were 2 possible explanations. …”
