My 1.6 V Matic Auris came to a grinding halt in a very dangerous position. I found a very useful link on this web site and wanted to thank all involved. After calling Toyota, with no support then the AA and the police after 30 minutes the car finally selected a gear and I was able to move on. What happened was that after traveling for about 15 mins at 60 mph and on leaving the main A38 on an uphill descent it selected neutral and would not select any other gear even though I could move the stick throughout the gear positions. This was a very dangerous position and on reading I can see many other owners have had similar problems and yet Toyota have done nothing about it! Do they need to wait until they have a death or serious accident to answer to before they do something about it. Shall defiantly not be buying Toyota again even though lots of people believe in them.
