Transmission was in neutral, parking brake was set. Vehicle was stationary for approx. 1 min. While I removed my things from the interior. As I was walking away from the vehicle (about 30-40 ft) I heard the brake "pop" turned around and the vehicle slowly started to roll backwards until it hit a pole. This happened in a private parking lot and was reported to Corp. Security, but no police report.
Vehicle was in reverse, attempted to drive back in reverse, but vehicle was still in drve. Consumer slammed on brakes, and went back to reverse, and drove. But vehicle was stil the same. Consumer had to turn vehicle off to get it correctly into gear. Service manager referred the consumer to to another mechanic, who had to replace steering column.
Transmission gear can be pushed into drive without putting foot on brake first. Concerned because consumer has small children. Consumer was not informed of this feature prior to purchase of vehicle.
Owner's child was able to switch gears from park to reverse without application of the brakes, and the vehicle took off and hit a fence. Dealer has not seen vehicle.
