2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Brakes Problems

For some reason I changed the transmission from reverse to drive and started going forward. I hit the brakes and the car eventually stopped, but not before hitting the the garage door. I then put the selector rod in reverse. The car proceeded to roll down the driveway decline into the street. I tried to brake, but the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes would not engage. The car stopped only because I put the selector into drive. …”

The local police were contacted and a report was made. …”
