Once as to you, in the driveway, in reverse, it popped outbecause I had slid it into reverse from first from outside the car w/o depressing cluth to retrieve key. It hit a tree going about 10 mph and totalled the car. The second time was the same basice scenario except I was at a hardware store and the car rolled across a major highway into the driveway of the house across the street. They had a big ole American car backed snug in against the house with the front wheels cranked out at full lock. My bumper hit the tire and bounced a few times to a stop. Talk about lucky. The homeowners never knew it happened.
In both cases the reason the e-brake wasn't applied was the usual- a sticking actuator lever that required manual release.
