NHTSA Complaint #11376930 — 2015 FORD F-150

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, PUT INTO PARK, THE KEY WAS REMOVED, THEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED. UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED, THE TAILGATE WAS LOWERED AND WE PROCEEDED TO LOAD A BULKY 70 (I'M GUESSING) POUND OBJECT INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. AS WE PUSHED THE OBJECT INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL. IT WAS ROLLING MORE THAN JUST THE NORMAL FEW INCHES THAT A VEHICLE IN PARK CAN SOMETIMES ROLL. I JUMPED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT (THE DOOR HAD BEEN LEFT AJAR) AND PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE EXTRA PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT BEING USED. THE PARKING LOT WAS VERY LEVEL, THERE WAS NO SLOPE AT ALL. ONCE WE HAD THE OBJECT WE WERE LOADING SECURED WE PUSHED THE TRUCK AND IT WAS STILL ABLE TO BE MOVED. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE OBJECT THAT WE WERE LOADING WASN'T HEAVY, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY TO HAVE AN OBJECT DROP DOWN ONTO THE PERSON(S) LOADING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO ANYONE, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES DAMAGED. WE JUST FELT THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 39,824 IN JUNE ( 5 MONTHS AGO)AT LAST OIL CHANGE.
