Description of the problem	My 2006 ford explorer was parked in the driveway. At 4:30 in the morning it rolled backwards out of my driveway and crashed into a fence across the street. The vehicle had been in park and the doors were locked. My neighbors heard the crash, looked out their window and ran outside. A chain link fence and very small concrete wall stopped the vehicle. Luckily there was no one outside or any other cars. There is significant body damage to my explorer and the left rear wheel is pushed out. How does a vehicle roll across the street while in park? Even if the vehicle is out of warranty, shouldn't this be something ford would be responsible for?
