First post here so I hope this is the right place for this.

An acquaintance of mine drives 2022 GLB 250 and recently parked their vehicle in a lot, exited, and moments later the vehicle changed to (D), traveled about 100', and struck a retaining wall at about approx. 5-10mph. The police found the vehicle in drive afterward, but the driver insists they definitely put it in (P). Either way, I understand that there is a safety feature that automatically shifts to (P) any time a door opens so I am confused as to how this could happen?

I am a fairly new MB driver, so I just wanted to see if there is any history of recalls or similar cases of this happening in GLB class or other models? I can't seem to find anything online for 2022 models.

 

Did the engine restart by itself too or did he exit the vehicle and leave the engine running?

 

Engine was left running, he was dropping off a package

 

He could submit a complaint to the NHTSA (takes about 3min) and if others do the same, hopefully, they would investigate the safety issue. https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safet...clsrc=ds#index
