NHTSA complaint: 2015 FORD EDGE — POWER TRAIN
I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IN A DRIVEWAY, WAS STANDING WITH THE CAR DOOR STILL OPEN WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND THEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR DOOR WHILE BEING DRAGGED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I SCREAMED FOR HELP AND A NEIGHBOR HEARD, RAN OVER JUST AS I APPROACHED THE STREET AND STOPPED THE CAR. SHE SAID THE CAR SHOWED TO BE IN REVERSE YET IT WAS TURNED OFF AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY WARNING SIGNALS. IT ALSO DIDN'T START TO ROLL UNTIL I WAS STANDING OUT OF IT ON TWO FEET. IF I FELT IT ROLLING WHILE GETTING OUT, I WOULD HAVE STILL HAD A FOOT IN THE CAR TO HIT THE BREAK. BESIDES BRUISES AND MUSCLE PULLS, I ALSO EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN MY SHOULDER WHICH WENT TO THE BONE WHILE BEING DRAGGED.
