 Description of the problemThis complaint is regarding my new 2010 volkswagen routan, the car is under two months old. The accident occurred after i pulled into my driveway and i put the car in park and left the keys in the engine because i was going to run into open the garage.... I wanted to get a puppy out of the rear of the car first so i went and stood behind the car but it was locked (clearly in parked.) i then went to the drivers side to hit the unlock switch on the door and the car started reversing and i was just caught really off guard so i tried to jump in the car as it was backing up but i guess my reaction was too late and i ended up being shoved on the pavement as the car rolled out of our driveway. At this point i was caught under the open drivers door and i was dragged across my street.... I managed to get out from under the door. Thankfully our neighborhood has deep gutters, i was able to catch up to the car and i manage to jump in because of the stall the gutter created. The car nearly ran through the neighbor's garage and just missed their mailbox. I have no idea how the car could go from a clearly "parked" position to "reverse" on it's own. I have road rash on my toes, feet, knees (my jeans are wrecked), on my hips and on my shoulders. I have bruises from the door being caught on my leg, my entire leg is swollen. After the incident i immediately called the local police department and filed a report.
