1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2018

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.
