NHTSA Complaint #11265413 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IN A PARKING LOT, TURNED COMPLETELY OFF, AND THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS IN THE "PARK" POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD (SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL). THE VEHICLE ROLLED APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES UNTIL THE FRONT TIRES MET WITH THE PARKING CURB. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED AT THE TIME. THE GRADE OF SLOPE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-6DEGREES. THE REAR HATCH WAS OPEN, AND TWO ADULTS WERE SITTING IN THE BACK WITH THEIR FEET ON THE GROUND WHEN THE VEHICLE ROLLED. IT WAS APPARENT, THAT THE TRANSMISSION "SLIPPED", WHILE IN PARK, WHEN IT SHOULD NOT "SLIP".
