Description of the problem	I own and drive a 2006 dodge grand caravan. On may 19, 2007, i drove to my usual parking spot and put the van in 'park'. I exited the car and looked to the rear of the van to see how close i was to the sidewalk. I reached into the car to pull out my key, accidentally turning it to 'accessory' for a brief second before turning it to the 'off' position and removing the key. While standing next to the car, with the driver's door still open, the van began rolling backwards! I was in shock for a bit before i realized what was happening. The driver's door was pushing me from behind, and i had to walk forward to keep the door from knocking me down. I tried to reach the brake with my left hand or jump into the vehicle so i could brake. Being pushed by the door prevented this. The rear wheels rolled over the curb followed by the front tires. I desperately tried to prevent the van from rolling into the street by grabbing the steering wheel and turning it a little. The slight upslope of the road slowed the vehicle down enough for me to jump in. I put the key into the ignition, started the vehicle as quickly as i could and put it in drive. I moved forward slightly, hitting the curb, put it into reverse and drove back a bit to clear the curb, put it back into drive and drove back up onto the parking area. I immediately felt pain in both knees, back, both hips, right leg and right ankle, left upper area under my arm and into the ribcage. Later i also began having stiffness in my neck, and experienced occasional numbness in both arms, depending on the position i had them in. I tried to contact daimler chrysler online since it was a saturday. Even after choosing the link "contact us" i was never given a phone number or e-mail address! On monday, may 21, 2007, i contacted the dodge dealer from whom i purchased the vehicle one year ago. I made an appointment to have the van checked over and repaired this friday, may 25, 2007.
