Narrative

On June 30, 2021 I and my husband just arrived home. My husband had been hospitalized 10 days and was still very weak. I was bringing him home and once I was in the driveway I put the car in park and got out and went to him on the passenger side to help him out. I took him inside and got him settled. When I returned outside to retrieve items from the vehicle, I reached in on the driver side to push the start button to turn off the engine. Immediately the vehicle started rolling and I was knocked down by the door and drug 20-30 feet . The front driver tire ran over my hand and continued to roll into the yard of the house across the street. the neighbor called for an ambulance and I was taken to the hospital. I was treated for road rash and released. I was thankful to be alive under the circumstances but was still concerned for my husband and had no idea why the car rolled. As far as my safety I feel that this could have killed me and or possibly the small child that lives next door had he been out on his tricycle as he often is outside playing. I have not had the vehicle inspected because I thought maybe I had somehow done something to cause it to roll but I know I did not. I am assuming that this recall # 22S43 is likely the reason. I was made aware of this issue with certain years and models by a family member. I did not get any type of warning . I am enclosing pictues where I was injured. Prior to the accident, I had full use of my hands but I still have limited use wit
