I have been complaining to my local Toyota dealership for several months that there is an issue with my 2008 Toyota 4runner changing gears. From time to time when I go from reverse to drive the vehicle does not engage gears. Just yesterday not only did the vehicle not engage, but when I went from reverse to drive (I checked to make sure that the vehicle was in drive) and I stepped on the gas the vehicle went into reverse, almost hitting the car behind me. This is a severe safety issue that my local Toyota dealership is not taking this seriously and could eventually lead to damage and/or death.
