What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I parked my car in its usual place in the parking lot of my office. I put it into 'park' turned off the engine, and left after clicking the locked button. Some hours later, I happened to notice that my car had moved some 60 feet in the parking lot.
