After coming to a stop, I put my vehicle in park. While exiting, the engine started revving causing it to jump out of gear. This resulted in a crash into an apartment that could have turned out much worst.

While driving on I 495 Durango started accelerating without me pushing the gas pedal. It kept accelerating even when I pushed the brakes lightly. There were cars braking in front of me, and I was still accelerating. I had to press the brakes down to the floor and drive on the shoulder. Once on the shoulder I pulled the emergency brake and turned the ignition off.

My Durango accelerates for no reason at all while it is stopped. It happens most frequently after going up a small hill in drive and then putting the car in reverse. When the car is put in reverse it accelerates.
