“June 19, 2016 my wife stopped the vehicle at the top of our driveway, which has a slight decline to the front of our house. She left it running, put it in park, put the emergency brake on. She got out of the vehicle, walked back down to the house and back up, the vehicle took off down the driveway, running into the house. The vehicle bounced back from the house about 10-12 feet. It was still running, with the emergency brake still on, but the gear shift was now in reverse. My wife then turned the engine off, where the vehicle sat for about 5 days. …”
