Description of the problem | I thought the car was safely parked as i opened the electric house gate and exited the car. I wanted to enter the gate first, so that i could secure the dogs. All of a sudden, the car starts rolling down the driveway. I try to jump into the car to try to stop the car, only to be pinned against the door and the closing electric gate, i fall. I get back up again to try to stop the car, and i fall again. The car ends up rolling down the driveway and almost fully tipping over the driveway wall. The driveway is an elevated driveway, the car jumped over the 4ft wall. As you can imagine, two wreckers were needed to shimmy the car off the driveway wall. Accident free record for +20 years. The shifter is not to be trusted, in this case, it left a world of damage. |
