| Description of the problem | I pulled into my driveway and put the car in park. When stepping out of my car, it started rolling backwards, the door was open so it knocked me to the ground and i rolled to get out of the path of the wheel, only getting missed by seconds. I had pretty severe bruising but i did not see a doctor. I assume the car went into reverse as it rolled backwards, but it was a slight incline so it may have been neutral. I was mostly focused on the fact my car was rolling backwards at a good rate with my 4 and 1 year old still inside. The car stopped after jumping the curb and taking out the neighbors mailbox. I honestly didn't look at what gear it was in once stopped, i checked on my children and quickly moved it out of the middle of the road, i of course was in panic mode. It did $6004. 69 worth of damage to the car, plus the replacement of (2) carseats and a brick mailbox. I took the car in a few months ago for other recalls and let them know about the situation and they said "no problem found" of course. After seeing a report from you all today about this very same problem it prompted me to file a complaint, as i didn't know you existed. The car has slipped out of gear several other times in parking lots, both while i was driving and to my husband as well, but i am very careful to use my parking break every time i park the car after the accident. ....
