So this weekend I was out with wife and daughter doing some shopping. I had to go into the store while they sat in truck. "It's cooler in truck. Not because it's a pain to look for something with them". When I parked I was on an incline and didn't realize it. I sat talking to wife for a few sec before I got out not realizing I left the truck in drive. So meanwhile I'm inside store shopping and I see my daughter run in crying and my wife following closely behind. I ask what's wrong. My wife begins to tell me that the truck rolled backwards??? What??? She got cold and turned truck off and it rolled down parking lot. She had to jump into drivers seat " thank god I have a bench seat". I was very confused when she told me I went to truck and tried to get it to roll backwrds turned truck off, tried to shift without pushing brake and nothing couldn't get it to do anything. So I thought hmmm just a fluke. Later that day it dawned one that I have hill assist on and so I went to an incline stopped let off brake truck stayed still then turned truck off with it still in drive and what ya know truck rolls back. So that solved the mysterious auto reverse. But I guess from now on ill be a lil more careful when I stop on an incline that was a first for me. Just glad nobody got hurt and that the truck didn't have some sort of weird problem causing it to roll. Figured I'd share as a heads up and lessons learned.
