Concerns involving automatic transmissions on the latest cars. The consumer test drove the 2004 Nissan Maxima with an automatic transmission. The driver stopped in the middle of a hill and removed his foot from the brake the vehicle began to roll backwards. The manufacturer indicated that this was normal since today's car have a very low rev. Engine. The consumer believes this is a dangerous design. He thinks the new vehicle's should be produced like the former automatic transmissions were when you remove your foot from the brake the car never rolls back.
