It may damage the transmission, and could potentially cause transmission failure or complete breakdown. In minor rear-end collisions, the damage is usually limited to parts like the rear bumper, and repairs won't affect the vehicle's future usage. However, in more severe rear-end collisions, the overall smoothness of the vehicle may be impacted. Steps to take after being rear-ended: 1. Immediately turn on the hazard lights to signal. 2. Apply the brakes to stop the vehicle as quickly as possible. 3. After stopping, shift the gear lever into P (Park) and restart the engine by turning the key. 4. Visit a 4S store as soon as possible for an inspection after a rear-end collision.
