 Description of the problemWhile my cars engine was running and the transmission was in the parked position, i exited my vehicle and i shut my drivers door. I walked 30 ft beyond rear of my car (three other parties following me in their own vehicles). We all had a discussion on exactly where we were going. We were all following each other in our own vehicles parked along same side walk facing the same direction. We had all exited our own respective vehicles and met in the street and discussing the exact location of where we were going. While in discussion with the other three parties we all noticed that all of a sudden my unoccupied vehicle began to move in reverse on its own. I attempted to chase my vehicle down the road on foot to open the drivers door and shut the car off. I could not reach before it hit an on coming car, it bounced off that car and proceeded to rest against a tree on a lawn down the street on the opposite side of the street. I not only have myself and the other three parties following me as witnesses that my vehicle moved into reverse at a minimum of 30 seconds after i had exited the vehicle and moved on its on. I also have a witness of a fifth person who is the person whom my vehicle struck their vehicle that can attest to this unoccupied jeep had moved in reverse on its own well after i exited the vehicle with all doors closed on my vehicle. How can you get out of a vehicle in reverse without fighting the drivers door that would knock you back into the car? You cant, the vehicle would have been moving backwards and the drivers door would be pushing you back into the vehicle. This vehicle on its own with this new design electronic transmission shifted itself into reverse well after i exited the vehicle. I have five witnesses that will attest that this jeep moved on its own, unoccupied, well after i exited the vehicle of a minimum of 30 seconds after i had exited it..... Updated 06/15/16 *bf
