Hi there i have a question about my new 2001 Nissan Sentra. I know this is a Corvette Forum but hey i got a corvette does that count?? Well, back to the Nissan question. When ever im on a hill and it is in drive, and i let off the brake the car rolls back..is that factory or is there something wrong. Please right back as soon as possible. Thanks :chevy

All automatics will do that. Just depends on the idle speed, the stall speed of the convertor and how steep the hill is.

Actually, that is an interesting question. My 2001 Chev Impala does the same thing. I have never experienced this with former cars I have owned with automatic transmissions. They always "creeped" in Drive. But, the Impala will sometimes that and at other times will not. When it slips backwards, I put my left foot out to release the clutch a bit???. Just kidding. I do not have an explanation but that that's the way it is. BTW, the Impala is a great car. Did Virginia Beach (through Carlisle for the show) in August to Canada and got 37mpg. That with A/C and 80mph.
