| Description of the problem | Electronic gear shiftier not reliable. There is no feeling or sense of proper gear engagement. I sit each day and rev up engine thinking i have engaged drive mode. You never know when you have properly engaged park feature. I have gotten one leg out of car while auto starts moving. This electronic feature is unsafe. Otherwise this is the best new car i have ever owned. No accidents but i am extra careful with this gear shift. I will never buy another care with this innovation. The problem happens at startup and shutdown / exit mode. Scary to exit auto and someone notify you later that the auto engine is still running and in neutral. Mode. Jerry |
