Description of the problem	On 09/07/2017, i was backing up my vehicle in a tight spot at my condo parking garage. I pulled forward and shifted the electronic gear selector to "park" so i could get out of the vehicle and check the clearance. When i was half way out the vehicle it started backing up but fortunately i was able to jump back in without physical injury. The vehicle however sustained $2000 to $3000 estimated damage to the rear end when it slammed into a large water pipe in the garage. About a week later i was checking the shift selector to see if i could duplicate the problem. It would not duplicate the exact same problem but once when i tried to shift it to "park" it went into reverse" but would not move when you took your foot off the brake pedal even when i pressed the gas pedal. Unfortunately i did not have my phone with me to video the incident. I have taken the vehicle to my local dealer and they said they they could find no "codes" or problems at this time. I am taking it into a body shop for repair next week and will know the exact damage and cost. I will also try to duplicate the problem again and i definitely will have video capability at that time.
