Yesterday while filling SUV with gas the car was running and in park. I had processed my debit card, chose gas and was in the filling process when the car rolled away- spilling gas as nozzle was in car. I ran after the vehicle and fell trying to catch it. It hit a curb, bounced back and continued accelerating forward. Somehow I managed in extreme panic mode to catch up with the car- get the door open and get the car back into park mode. I was alone. The writer knob was in park or I could never have gotten that far with the debit- the gas capture and the nozzle. I am so sore from the fall and chase. Others saw what happened and came to my aid. I have not gone to a doctor. Got home drenched in gasoline as car took off while pumping and iced myself everywhere. My back is killing me and and my arms from catching a moving vehicle while trying to open the drivers side door. Someone in front of this car would have been mowed down or a car in front would have been hit. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. So disturbed. Car has less than 5000 miles on it and I will sell it to carmax next week. What happened to make a car in park getting fuel just take off is beyond comprehension. There was no hill as I am in flat FL. Every part of me is in pain today. Car was stationary being filled with gas when it tore away from the gas pump and proceeded straight- it accelerated. It was in park.
