Description of the problem	On monday, october 4th, 2010, i pulled into my driveway and placed the 2009 volkswagen routan in park. The engine was still running while i finished up a phone call through the bluetooth and proceeded to listen to the radio while cleaning out the van. I walked around the exterior of the vehicle leaning in to clean the interior of the car. I needed to go inside the house, so, standing outside driver's side of the van i reached across the seat to turn off the engine and remove the keys. As soon as i did this, the van jolted backward and continued to travel down my driveway. My upper body was still inside the car. I tried to depress the emergency brake with my right hand while i held tightly onto the steering wheel with my left. I wasn't able to stop the car but i was able to turn the wheel so that the van crashed into a tree on my property, instead of going into the street. When the van hit the tree, the force threw me out of the vehicle and onto the driveway. I was taken to the hospital by my husband where the found that i had broken 2 ribs, sprained my left shoulder and sustained extensive soft tissue damage. I also suffered several cuts and scrapes and numerous bruises. At this point in time, nothing has been done to correct the failure.
