I went to drug a store and was in a hurry when I parked the vehicle. I left the car in "drive" as I was in a hurry and didn't notice. I was able to turn off the ignition and remove the key, which didn't register to me as a problem at the time. When I came out of the store, I found the vehicle had rolled backwards and struck another parked vehicle, causing approximately $2200 in damage to the other vehicle. Minimal to no damage to my vehicle. When I got home I was able to duplicate this situation.
Torque converter failed, causing a total need for transmission replacement.
There is a consistent metallic clanging/rumbling at 2,000 RPM in any gear, particularly under part throttle/light load operation.
After shifting out of reverse into drive, the vehicle continued in reverse until the consumer turned off the vehicle and restarted it. Dealer was notified.
