| Description of the problem | My 2006 automatic camry shift lever will disengage while driving. I have hit the shift lever while driving at high speed (65 mph) by accident and the lever went from drive to neutral. My engine revs were alarming. Worried about blowing my engine. I quickly put my car back into drive (d) and continued. This has happened several times. I was concerned that my car would slow down and i would be rear ended. With the tailgating trend of today's drivers this is a grave concern to me. Has there been any other complaints ? I feel that the lock to change from park to drive should work in all positions so this event will not accure. I feel that this is an accident waiting to happen. This defect should be addressed. *jb |
