| Description of the problem | I had cranked my jeep and not shifted into gear so it was in park. It was stationary when i jumped out to grab something from just inside and heard a weird noise. I ran back into my garage to see my car rolling down and across my front yard. I thought someone was trying to steal it so ran up along side the passenger side and that is when i saw no one was in it. I ran around to the driver side and try to get into to stop it but could get in while it was rolling and ended up getting dragged for about a second as it cross the road. My jeep keep going and end up hitting my neighbors mailbox and tree. Once my jeep was stopped i opened the door and notice the it was in neutral. My garage is flat and i was backed into my garage so there is no real way that even if it was in neutral that it would have the motion to move out of my gagarge. I actually think it had shifted on its own into drive and when it hit the tree i think it popped it into neutral. I was luckly not to get run over or anyone else was not injuried while my car was moving own its own. |
