Quick question: We recently purchased a new 2010 Corolla LE with automatic transmission. Third gear is horizontally even with the normal "D" drive on the shift gear box, so it's pretty easy to make a mistake if you're in a hurry. My wife mistakenly drove it in third gear (instead of the normal "D" drive gear at 60 MPH for about 20 miles. I'm concerned that this might have caused damage to the engine and/or transmission. Would appreciate answers from mechanics and those who know - thanks, Brian.
