| Description of the problem | The car is equipped with an automatic transmission. It rolls back on the slope when the brake is released. Rolling back continues until the brake is pressed again. This happens while the transmission is in "drive". It rolls back usually when the car is driven at the low speed with frequent turns. Irvine autonation toyota lead technician marco stated that it is normal for some cars with a certain transmission (760ae?). He demonstrated with another rav4. That car rolled back also until the brake is pressed while the transmission was in "drive". Problem is it doesn't roll back always. I expect the car would not roll back while it's in "drive". It would hit the car behind if i don't press the brake fast enough or press the gas pedal fast enough. It acts like a manual transmission rather than an automatic transmission. If i don't have fast reaction, driving in a hilly area would be dangerous. |
