I PULLED INTO SHEETZ IN BEDFORD AT ABOUT 515AM ON 01/13/10. I PRESSED THE ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE DASH AT WHICH TIME THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I EXITED THE CAR AND ENSURED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY COAT POCKET. I SPENT APPROX 5 MINUTES IN THE SHEETZ STORE. ON MY WAY OUT, AN UNIDENTIFIED SHEETZ CUSTOMER CAME INTO THE STORE AND ASKED WHO'S WHITE CAMERY WAS IN THE PARKING LOT. THAT WAS MY RENTAL. WE EXITED THE STORE AND APPROACHED THE CAR, WHICH WAS NOW STOPPED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLOPPED PARKING LOT AND NEAR A GRAY F-250. NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE HOOD; FRONT BUMPER AND DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT. THE CUSTOMER BEGAN TO TELL ME HE HAD SEEN ME APPROACH THE STORE FROM THE CAR AND THEN HE SAW THE CAR ROLL AWAY A FEW MINUTES LATER. HE HADN'T NOTICED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. HE SAID HE RAN TO THE CAR TO CHECK ON ME AND REALIZED I WASN'T IN THE CAR. WHEN I LOOKED INTO THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND SHUT OFF. I ASKED THE CUSTOMER IF HE HAD TOUCHED THE CAR AND HE ADVISED NO HE HADN'T. THE CAR WAS OFF AND IN PARK WHEN HE GOT TO IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR BEEPING SOUNDS AS I LEFT THE CAR. THIS WAS A HERTZ RENTAL CAR AND THEY ARE NOW WANTING ME TO PAY FOR DAMAGES. THE CAR IS A 2010 TOYOTA HYBRID. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE ROLLAWAY IF CAR IS OFF AND IN PARK. I FEEL THIS IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WHEN I WAS ON MY 30DEGREES INCLINED DRIVEWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING ON DRIVE AND I TOOK MY LEGS FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKES WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AS IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND NOT ON D. THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. THE DATE WAS 9/5/2010 NOT 9/5/2009. *TR
