Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA CE, IT'S AUTOMATIC WITH THE DRIVE SHIFT IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE I NOTICED IF THE SHIFT IS BARELY BUMPED IT KNOCKS THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BUMP IT, BUT YESTERDAY I HIT A BUMP ON THE INTERSTATE IT KNOCKED ME INTO NEUTRAL, I WAS NOT AWARE I WAS OUT OF GEAR, BECAUSE A 18 WHEELER WAS BARRELING DOWN ON MY BUMPER, SO I COULDN'T HEAR THE CHANGE IN THE MOTOR, BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF HIS WAY, THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FASTER, THEN I NOTICED MY TACHOMETER WAS AT 4 1/2 AND KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEMS SO I TOOK THE SHOULDER. I HAVE A 17 YEAR OLD SON THAT WILL BE DRIVING SOON, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH HIM DRIVING BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL OF EITHER CAUSING A ACCIDENT, OR BREAKING DOWN, OR RUINING THE CAR ALL TOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS AND SAID IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM IN A TEST DRIVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT. AND ALL MODELS OF CARS HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO BE MOVED INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BUMPED, AND WITH OUT PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT. *TR
