Description of the problem | I had rented a 2004 ford taurus from enterprise rent-a-car. I needed to get some things out of another car to put into the rental car. I put the taurus into drive and pulled forward to the other car. I placed the car in park, opened the door, took my foot off the brake and started to get out. After i had both feet on the ground and was standing up, the car began to roll backward. I fell to the ground while holding on to the door and was dragged a few feet. I managed to roll away from the car. The car rolled back to the original parking spot and hit a guard rail and another car. |
