Toyota Passo Auto Gear Shift To Neutral

[jayantha_73]

Im using a Passo -2007 model with auto trans. I noticed today when my wife was driving she took a hard bend and she had turned too much so had to immediately stop and get the steering returned .. the auto gear had come to neutral position. I slightly remember this had happened to me also some days back but cant figure-out how and when. Since this has steering gear I doubt whether she accidentally hit her hand while trying to steer back with efforts (Usual with ladies) or if not is it a problem. But I drove after that and nothing like that happened after that. Worried a bit whether any issue with the trans. Any idea about this pls..? This car had done 42000 Kms.

Thanks

To be very Frank I didn't know the Auto gear moves to neutral without pressing the button. Just a hit would move it to Neutral. The same thing happened to me when I also accidentally hit the gear by my left arm.
