DEFECTIVE GEAR SELECTOR. DRIVER PARKED THE CAR AND SWITCHED IT OFF. DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS. THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE CAR. THE CAR RAN OVER A STATIONARY MOTORCYCLE AND OVER AND INTO A LOW WALL CAUSING ABOUT $20,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BRAKE WHEN SWITCHED OFF AND EXITED. FROM THE MANUAL: "THE EPB APPLIES AUTOMATICALLY IF THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE VEHICLE'S SPEED IS BELOW 2 MPH (3 KM/H)." THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JUNE 14, 2018. MY INSURANCE - FARMER' INSURANCE - FILED A CLAIM/COMPLAINT WITH RANGE ROVER, BUT IT WAS DENIED BY RANGE ROVER. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS - IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WE ARE LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID NOT DRIVE OVER A PERSON WALKING BEHIND THE CAR. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH RANGE ROVER.

I HAD TO PARK MY TRUCK AT MY DADS CAR BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THAT A LOT OF RANGE ROVER HAVE A FAULTY SUNROOF TO WHERE WATER LEAKS CAUSING ELECTRICAL DAMAGE. THIS WAS ALSO WHAT THE RANGE ROVER SPECIALIST TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN HAPPEN. MY TRUCK MODEL HOWEVER HAS YET TO BE RECALLED. BUT THERE ARE OTHER MODELS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SUNROOF ISSUE. IT IS CLEARLY SOMETHING LAND ROVER VEHICLES HAVE AN ISSUE WITH. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY JUST A MONTH AGO. WHEN I WENT YESTERDAY TO MY DADS HOUSE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY TRUCK IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD. THIS IS BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH WATER THAT SEEPED THROUGH THE SIDES OF THE CAR. YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE THE MOLD WAS COMING FROM THE SEATBELT HOLES AND SUCH.
