Description of the problem	On a sunday morning i had tethered my dog in the back seat to take him to the groomers. I cranked the car and realized i left something in the house. I exited the vehicle and we straight in and go the item i needed and exited my patio doors, turned around to pull blinds closed and to my amazement saw that vehicle was missing. As i turned around, i saw my vehicle traveling backwards with my dog seated in the backseat 100 ft or more away from me. There was no running to get to it to stop it. The drivers door was open and the car was headed to the main road. The door of the vehicle remained in the position i left it when i had exited the car however was stripped off the car by the cedar tree, the car went into the ditch with my dog and stopped there. The gear shift seemed to be in an odd position best i can remember and it was not in the park position nor do i believe it was in reverse position either. I was stunned and alarmed so i cannot say my memory is exact on this as i was focused on ensuring the car would not further. I was able to open the back door and took my dog off the tether. Had a wrecker get it out of the ditch and take it to the collision center where they had to replace the interior panel of the driver's door, the whole door as it was ripped from the hinges and replaced the front fender as well. Thankful this didn't happen in a parking lot where a child or elderly person, or anyone for that matter could have been run over. I hope this compaint gets some attention. The vehicle was sitting on level ground when i exited the vehicle, there was no motion to indicate the vehicle was in reverse. My car when put in reverse will not get you time to get out. You must hit the brake. I have no clue what happened. I will upload pictures of the crash when i get internet service to my phone.
