I parked my car in residential neighborhood and proceeded to cross street with my car parked behind me. Thankfully a man facing car yelled "your car!" my new car was rolling down the street backwards, gaining speed down the incline, headed for curb, sidewalk and huge tree. I chased the car down the street, got door open, jumped inside vehicle as it was moving and slammed on brake, injuring my back and shoulder in the process. The push-button start allowed car to "free-wheel" out of control when turned off, left in drive, and key left in car. I am in and out of car many times a day. No other car I have ever owned will allow me, without warning, to leave car if left in "drive". I was not informed by Toyota that push-button ignition would allow my car to become a potential weapon, free wheeling, if left in drive and unattended. I would like this situation to be remedied to save lives and property damage. Even after going through this frightening experience, I cannot be sure it won't happen again without an effective warning system.
