1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2014

Incident occurred while contact (c) was backing Srx down the approx 40 degree upslope 100¿ long driveway curved at bottom. Surfaces were dry & it was sunny. C purchased Srx new (navigation, driver awareness & driver assist) in late 12/13. C &/or spouse have backed Srx down driveway without incident 100 plus times. C & spouse entered Srx, adjusted seats & mirror, & buckled seat belts. C depressed brake pedal & pushed start button. While retaining pressure on brake, c shifted transmission selector into r, ¿reverse. ¿� the back-up camera display appeared. Immediately, Srx began to roll down driveway. Rolling continued despite increasing brake pedal pressure exerted. C was standing on brake pedal to get Srx to respond to full stop. Viewing the back-up camera display, c attempted to steer Srx so as to avoid entering street. Srx was stopped by impacting retaining wall on left side of driveway. Once Srx had stopped, c (with brake pedal still depressed) was able to shift gears & move Srx from driveway. C tested Srx by driving forwards & braking & noted no issues. Srx was dealer inspected. Dealer indicated that "could not duplicate concern. Checked for bulletins, no related bulletins. Inspected brake fluid for leaks, no leaks. No stored dtc's. " Srx's hill start assist feature, which holds Srx for maximum of two secs so driver may move from brake to accelerator without risk of rolling - feature does not function. Dealer verbally stated that on steep hills, Srx should be driven with two feet, one on brake & one on accelerator. For this report, c never used accelerator & never removed foot from brake pedal. C believes Srx should not have been at risk of rolling & brakes & transmission failed & should be investigated. Crash resulted in damage to left mirror, left chrome vent & left rear wheel well. Repair cost estimated at $980.
