If the transmission is electronically controlled, and the electronics are doing screwy things, it may have ignored the gear selector position.

Yup, this is the reason for the recall. the electronics are screwed up.....

mike i agree with your bull**** flag. if the car is in gear and moving forward there is no way it'll engage into reverse. neutral maybe, not reverse.

If you go into reverse, the car should stay in Neutral...if she was in reverse and it still was going...there is an issue.

She turned off the engine and it would not turn off... this is a big problem.

I could not understand why people were on the phone with police and still after over 45 seconds they could not get the car to slow down. I have a Camry and love it.. My wife has a Camry and I am concerned.
