The contact owns a 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350. The contact stated that roof fabric had begun to detach from the vehicle. Over time, the fabric started to obstruct the contact's vision out of the rear windshield. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer where she was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and they offered to cover a nominal part of the cost of the repair. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was not available.
The car was on an incline in my driveway. It has the transmission shift lever on the column, and I had been backing down the driveway. I stopped placed the car in park and got out with the engine running to move something. The car sat in place for approximately 10 seconds and then spontaneously took off at approximately 5miles/hour. Fortunately my daughter was standing on the driver side of the car in front and saw the car rolling forward, jumped in and hit the brakes just as the car struck one of other cars on the driveway. The shift lever was reading the drive position, even had I not placed the car in park, it would not have been in drive but reverse as I had been proceeding down the driveway.
