While driving to get onto the expressway, the car downshifted. When i got up to speed, it downshifted with a heavy jolt and a bang, the dealer told me the problem happened because of the small motor trying to catch up to the torque converter.

2009 toyota corolla, manual 5 speed, while in 1st or 2nd gear, on a slight incline will move forward or backward. Toyota's solution was to apply the emergency brake. I'm appalled that my car while in gear can travel two parking spots and hit another car while i am not in the car. I would like to have in writing that toyota says that this is the way they designed their car. *tr
