Consumer Description

WE WERE IN A STORAGE FACILITY PARKING OUR CAMPER WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY GMC TRUCK...I LEFT IT RUNNING IN PARK BECAUSE IT WAS SO HOT OUTSIDE...WHILE I DIRECTED MY BROTHER TO PUT THE CAMPER IN PLACE WITH HIS VEHICLE. THIS TOOK APPROX. 20-30 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK IS GOING IN REVERSE ALL ON ITS OWN RUNNING INTO SOME BOATS THAT WERE STORED THERE. WTH!! MY TRUCK GOT REAR END DAMAGE,BUMPER DAMAGE,LIGHT BROKEN AND MY TOPPER WAS MESSED UP AS WELL....ALONG WITH THE BOAT TRAILERS THAT IT HIT! WAS THERE ANY RECALL WITH THIS PROBLEM? I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO WITH ONLY 29,000 MILES ON IT AND IT STILL ONLY HAS 38,000. *TR
