Is It Harmful for an Automatic Transmission Car to Roll Forward in Reverse Gear?

[DiXavier]

Yes. It can cause impact to the chassis and driving system, with the most common issue being direct damage to the gears. In severe cases, the transmission may even be rendered unusable. Below are some parking precautions: 1. Basic parking principle: Consider both your own convenience for entry and exit as well as that of others, and also take into account potential unexpected situations. 2. Use turn signals when temporarily parking by the roadside: Always turn on the turn signal in advance when temporarily parking by the roadside, and check the rearview mirror to ensure there are no vehicles or pedestrians before pulling over. The parking location must be legally permissible and should not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. When parking due to traffic congestion or waiting at a traffic light, leave at least half a car length distance to prevent being trapped in the middle if the car in front breaks down. 3. Park in well-lit areas: Choose spacious and bright locations for temporary parking, and avoid hiding in corners. For long-term or overnight parking, always use a parking lot. Additionally, exercise extra caution and care when parking during severe weather conditions or on particularly crowded streets.
