The car was shut off and parked with keys out. The car began to roll with no occupant and eventually hit a truck. The keys will come out of the ignition in any gear causing the car to roll if not completely in park, a very dangerous situation. The manufacturer was contacted and they say it is a maintenance issue. In addition the car seems to be loosing 2nd gear, car vibrates and makes noises at lower speeds.
