I USED TO HAVE A 2004 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER LIMITED AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS RAV 4 LIMITED. SOMETIMES WHEN I PARK, I FORGET TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK (I NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH MY HIGHLANDER) AND THEN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. MY HIGHLANDER DID NOT DO THIS. TODAY MY CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I FELL DOWN AND MY ELBOW AND ARM IS REALLY SCRAPPED UP AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE CAR WITH MY BODY AND THEN I WAS ALMOST RUN OVER AS I FELL ON THE GROUND. I COULD HAVE HIT A CHILD OR RUN OVER A CHILD. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY CAR OR IF THERE IS A SETTING I COULD USE TO PREVENT THIS. I DON'T WANT TO BE RUN OVER BY MY CAR OR HAVE ANYONE RUN OVER.
