| Description of the problem | I was driving my wife's 2013 nissan juke which was purchased in december of 2013. I was driving the car by myself for the second time and therefore i was not accustomed to using the keyless ignition. I stopped to check the mail box approximately 100 feet on top of a small hill on the road of my condominium complex, where the mail box was located. I was focused on the process of using the new push button system of turning off the ignition and consequently did not shift the car into park. I turned the car off and exited the car while it was still in drive, left the door open and proceeded to walk over to my mail box. I did not recall hearing any type of alarm alerting me to the fact that the car was not in park. Once i realized the car was rolling, i ran after it hoping to catch it before it hit someone fearing that someone could be seriously injured or killed. I ran over some damp grass fell to the ground so hard i severely dislocated my right shoulder severing 3 rotator cuff tendons requiring extensive surgery. Also i was running so hard that i tore the muscles in the back of my legs and severely lacerated my right forearm as well. The car came to a stop after it brushed up against my neighbor's garage causing approximately $4,000. 00 worth of damage to the vehicle and also approximately $1,200. 00 worth of damage to the garage, lawn and shrubs.
