I bought 2007 Honda Pilot- I have noticed that on an incline while in Drive gear the car rolls back.I?

Question:
I bought 2007 Honda Pilot- I have noticed that on an incline (my normal driveway) while in Drive gear the car rolls backward when I release the brake. It feels really scary and unsafe. My husband has a Rodeo and it does not do that at all. I am really worried about this, especially when drving in San Francisco.

Answers:

why is it that I speed in front of cops everyday and they only say bye to me or laugh or ignore me but.......?

Any auto will do this if it is not a very new luxury auto. The coupling between the engine and tranny is viscous. Basically if the car or the engine is going very slow, they won't hook up. Modern luxury autos have various techniques for sidestepping this but basically any inexpensive auto will have this problem. I am puzzled by the suggestion that you press on the brake with your left foot, if you are stuck at a light or stop sign, what is your right foot doing anyway? It is a shame that you have apparently not had to learn stick. You would find that moving your right foot from the brake to the gas and back is actually a very swift maneuver and that you won't roll more than an inch in the process. You should really not notice the rollback b/c if you are driving correctly you will be on the gas in an instant after coming off the brake.

you will have to learn to hold the brake with you LEFT foot under these circumstances. No problem.

P.S. The dealer will laugh at you. There is nothing to fix. Idle speed is controlled by your computer and is not adjustable.

Has any one had difficulty fitting baby seats to a TOYOTA ESTIMA/PREVIA?

An automatic transmission has a torque converter which transfers power from the engine to the gears using a fluid coupling, not a direct mechanical connection. When the engine is turning at low RPMs, very little torque (power) is transferred. On level ground, you won't notice this, but on a steep incline, you will notice some rollback.

what is this?


You really should use your brake to hold the car on a hill. If you try to hold your car on an incline by revving the engine, you will put a lot more wear on your auto transmission and it will wear out sooner much than expected.

How can i keep my right foot still when using the accelerator whilst learning to drive?

With enough of an incline almost any automatic will roll backwards in drive. I vaguely remember some Subarus that had a "hill lock" feature, there may be others.

So how do we fix the fact that ppl don't use turn signals?


Don't you remeber learning how to do a "hill start" back in Driver's Ed?? Left foot on brake, a LITTLE gas with the right and release the brake? Or use the hand brake instead of the left foot on the foot brake.

There's NOTHING wrong with your car, but there's a LOT wrong with your driving technique! I'd highly recommend a refresher course from a local driving school!

How do you report someone driving with no licence?

Your owner's manual will tell you not to use the transmission to hold the vehicle in place on an incline. It causes excess wear and tear. Use the brake instead. The problem is your technique, not the vehicle. There is no such thing as a "non back rolling transmission". And since there is nothing wrong with your car, the dealer can't fix it.

....gravity...? most cars do roll back when the brake is not stepped on. plus, feel better that when you guys are in a car accident, you'll be MUCH safer than some car that doesn't roll back slightly.
