Description of the problem	This is a serious issue & could have caused a fatality. Who ever owns this vehicle be careful. On 10/31/12 about 11:30am my grandmother & i were heading out to lunch. My grandma wanted to ride in the dart that i had bought on 10/26/12. I only put about 10 miles on the dart & it is a manual 6 speed. I let my grandma into the passenger front seat, i started the car, put it into neutral, the emergency brake was already engaged, but i double checked it & re-pulled up on the emergency brake, i then pulled up one more time to make sure it was fully engaged because my driveway is slanted. I then turned on the a/c since it was about 80 degrees out. I left the driver's side door open. I told my grandma that i was going to move her car since it was blocking the driveway & parked in the street & then we can go to lunch. I walked down my driveway & made it to her driver side door when i heard my 76 year old grandmother screaming i looked up & saw my dodge dart rolling down my driveway as if no e-brake was on at all. The drivers side door on the dart smashed into my grandma's car the door on the dart then smashed into the front fender of the dart the inside of the door rubbed & damaged the rear fender of my grandmothers car. The dart then came to a stop about a 1/3 way into the street about 50ft from where i had the dart parked. I jumped into the dart & checked on my grandmother she had no serious injuries. I look down at the emergency brake & the emergency brake is fully engaged & in the same position that i left it in. This car didn't immediately roll down the driveway it took about 30-45 seconds before it started rolling. It acted like the emergency brake was engaged then just disengaged & rolled at a high speed. I have reported this to my insurance company & to dodge. Dodge is saying there is nothing wrong with the car, but they are unwilling to give me a copy of the report.
