2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek brakes complaints

Filed May 5, 2015 · Brakes · 2,461 miles · PA · crash

I backed out of the garage and was in reverse with my foot on the brake pedal on the driveway waiting for the garage door to close. For some reason I changed the transmission from reverse to drive and started going forward. I hit the brakes and the car eventually stopped, but not before hitting the the garage door. I then put the selector rod in reverse. The car proceeded to roll down the driveway decline into the street. I tried to brake, but the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes would not engage. The car stopped only because I put the selector into drive. I was stuck in the middle of the street with the brake pedal depressed by itself and the gear selector in drive. I could not change the gear until I reached down and pulled the brake pedal up from its depressed position.
