I have tried multiple times to reach Ford Corporate since 6-6-22. They say they called me and there was not voicemail option so they closed my case. I keep opening case numbers with them. On Jun2 2nd, my car was parked, idling in the driveway on an incline. I opened the driver's side door and pushed the off button, the car then started to roll backwards. The door hit me and the car dragged me down the driveway into the street. The car then continued to roll into a neighbor's yard and hit the front of their house. It took out a support beam, the porch, the front brick wall and a window. I opened a claim with my insurance, called the cops. The police did not issue me a ticket since I was not driving the car when the incident happened. I had to go to the ER for multiple injuries where the front tire ran over my leg, a cut head and multiple burns from being dragged on pavement. The neighbors house- luckily no one was hurt, had to have the entire outer wall replaced, brick work, and porch. I am still healing from the accident, I have a major hematoma on my right leg that has caused severe tissue damage. I believe the car did not hold in park and rolled. The car will remain in the body shop for repairs until end of June.

When shifting from reverse into drive the transmission slips resulting in the car jumping forward. Sometimes it only stumbles and is barely noticeable. Other times it jumps forward several feet. I took it back to the dealership where I bought it and we drove another brand new car that had the same issue. Their mechanic said it was normal. This makes turning around in a parking lot or small space very dangerous.
