Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The key has been sticking in my ignition when i park. this time when i could not get the key out, i restarted the car in park, of course with my foot on the brake. the car jumped into reverse and flew backwards out of my garage at a high rate of speed. it crossed the road and ended up knocking down a garage and totaling the car. the brakes were on as evidenced by the tire tread and skid marks. it was a bizarre occurrence and very frighteningly. *jb
