It was impossible to move it out of the roadway without the assistance of a tow truck (parking brakes lock, and gear selector becomes useless.) After some research this seems to be a fairly common known issue. This is very unsafe, and financially devasting on a financed car. There were no warnings and no prior issues up to the time of incident.

Electrical system

My window is constantly leaking water. I am not the original owner. I went to get the window repaired and the shops say it's a recall. I never knew it was one. I now have a problem with wiring and I believe that the leaks have lead to this!

The engine was running and the vehicle was in park and I exited the vehicle. I went inside an adjacent building for approximately 1 minute. I returned to the vehicle and opened the front passenger side door. I picked up my key fob and pressed the ignition button to turn off the engine. When the engine turned off the vehicle began to roll away and struck a parked car and pinned me between the vehicle and the opened passenger side door. My hand was pressed between the car door and a light pole in the parking lot. The tow truck driver sat in the driver's seat and pressed the engine button and the gear shifter emerged and was in the park position. The tow truck driver then shifted the vehicle to neutral and the vehicle would not move. The parking brake continued to engage and the tires would not roll freely.
