| Description of the problem | Electronic transmission shifter is difficult to use. I have owned this vehicle for 3 weeks and have already unintentionally had my vehicle roll from a stopped position. In an attempt to place the vehicle in "park" from "drive," the vehicle was accidentally shifted into "reverse" due to poor operator friendliness compared to traditional shifters. Shifting the vehicle from "neutral" has also not registered correctly on occasions due to prerequisites to shift out of that gear (foot on brake and button held down). The shifter release button has very poor feedback and is difficult to use as well. |
