NHTSA Complaint #10477290 — 2011 FORD FUSION

MY SISTER WAS DRIVING MY 2011 FORD FUSION TO GO OUT OF TOWN , WHEN GETTING BACK INTO TOWN, SHE PULLED INTO MACDONALDS, PUT SHIFT IN PARK. WHILE SITTING IN CAR, WE WERE TAKING FOOD ORDERS FROM PASSENGERS, ONE IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND ONE IN BACK PASSENGER SIDE. WE, MY SISTER WHO WAS DRIVING AND I WHO OWN THE CAR, GOT OUT OF AUTOMBILE , WE WENT INTO MACDONALDS STOOD IN LINE, WHEN WE GOT UP TO THE COUNTER TO ORDER, SOMEONE YELLED " THAT CAR IS ROLLING BACKWARDS" AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO THE SIDE OF A WHITE TRUCK, DAMANGING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ON THE TRUCK, NO DAMAGE ON FORD FUSION. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AS TO LEAVE THE AIR CONDITIONER ON BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT OUT. I WAS IN THE RESTURANT AND NOT EVEN NEAR THE FORD FUSION AT THE TIME OF ROLL BACK. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 53 YEARS AND KNOW WHEN A CAR IS IN GEAR, THIS FORD FUSION JUMPED OUT OF GEAR SOMEHOW, IT WAS IN GEAR. EVEN WHERE IT WAS PARKED WAS ON A SMALL INCLINE. WHEN TAKING THE FORD FUSION TO FORD DEALERS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD'NT HAVE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR, IT HAD TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN PARK. NOW REMEMBER THIS CAR WAS RUNNING WITH THE AIR ON, DIDN'T ROLL BACK WHEN WE WERE TAKING ORDERS FOR FOOD, AND THEN WE STOOD IN LINE IN THE RESTURANT BEFOR THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. THIS WAS REPORTED AS AN ACCIDENT ON MY SISTER'S INSURANCE, HOW CAN THIS BE , HOW DO THEY KNOW I WASN'T GOING TO DRIVE MY CAR THE REST OF THE WAY HOME,WE WERE ONLY 1 MILE FROM HOME. AND BESIDES THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN ROLL BACK FOR APROXMONTEY 6 MINUTES. THIS HAS TO BE REPORTED AS SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR
