THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING AND IN PARK, UNOCCUPIED. VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY DESPITE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK POSITION AND STRUCK A GARAGE DOOR. OWNER STATES HE CONFIRMED VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN HE CAME TO THE VEHICLE IN ITS FINAL RESTING POSITION. FOR ONE DAY PRIOR TO THIS OCCURANCE, A BRAKE ERROR MESSAGE HAD COME ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A WEEKEND, SO THE OWNER DID NOT NOTIFY A SERVICE PROVIDER BUT WAS INTENDING TO SCHEDULE SERVICE ON THE MONDAY FOLLOWING. A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED WITH HIS AUTO INSURANCE PROVIDER, ERIE INSURANCE, TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE. UNDERLYING ISSUE NEEDS INVESTIGATION AS THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VIN, BUT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR OTHER MAKES/MODELS.
