Description of the problem | Due to cold weather, walked out and started car, right foot on brake, right index finger on starter button, left foot on outside parking lot and left hand holding cell phone. After starting car, closed door, went back into office for over 3-5 minutes, did five web searches before sister who works in office came in to my office and told me my car had backed a perfect u, missed 6 vehicles parked outside and hit our office building. My car is just the distance of the sidewalk and wall plus a few feet with window between us, i heard the car running while in office. When i got to car out side it was in reverse, doors locked and idling, no explanation of how it went from opposite direction than direction i pulled in, missed all vehicles. Ford says there is nothing wrong with my car, i had three additional people in my office pictures and video of tracks that are verification that it did it by itself, as best we can figure the park assist took over, had i accidentally knocked it into reverse it would have started backing up with me half in and half out of the car, also am sure that it was in park as can't start it in reverse, i am frustrated with the dealership here that is not really willing to figure out what actually happened, all they will tell me is the check engine light didn't come on. I am requesting information as to whether or not this has been reported by anyone else and where i might be able to get further information as to what can be checked out to figure out what might have made it start moving on it's own. |
