Description of the problem	Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the gear shifter indicator jumped into reverse and ran over the contact and crashed into a fence.

Two days later, the contact received a recall notification on nhtsa # 05v462000, concerning the automatic transmission. The manufacturer was alerted about the accident and sent a representative to investigate. The investigator determined the transmission had gone in reverse and was the cause of the failure.
