NHTSA Complaint #10892376 — 2012 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

THIS MAY BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V502000. ON JULY 11, 2016, I WAS IN MY SON'S DRIVEWAY, PLACED MY CAR IN PARK, AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS STILL, AND MY KEYS WERE STILL IN THE IGNITION. WHILE I WAS BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE CAR, THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS, WHICH KNOCKED ME TO MY FEET AND UNDER THE CAR. THE CAR ROLLED UP ONTO MY RIBCAGE AND MY VISION STARTED TO GO DARK. A NEARBY PERSON MANAGED TO ROLL THE CAR OFF OF ME. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE I LEARNED I HAD FIVE BROKEN RIBS AND A SMALL PUNCTURE IN MY LUNG. MY LEG IS BRUISED FROM MY THIGH TO MY TOES. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I DEVELOPED AN INFECTION IN A WOUND ON MY ANKLE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FOLLOW UP VISITS TO DOCTOR TO CHECK FOR PNEUMONIA AND BLOOD CLOTS. A VISITING NURSE COMES TO MY HOUSE TWICE PER WEEK. I CANNOT DRIVE AND HAVE WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I HAVE MAILED A LETTER TO THE CEO AND GENERAL COUNSEL OF GM, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE.
