Description of the problem	The electronic gear shift can be confusing since it is easy to lose track of the number of 'virtual' steps it has moved in either direction. The dashboard display can be obscured by the steering wheel spokes if in a turning position so one can think the transmission is in park while the engine is idling and exit the vehicle. Bottom line you have to be very proactive about determining what state the transmission is in since the feedback by click / feel is subtle and the dash display can be obscured. In short i am not surprised some have been surprised by this transmission shift mechanism as i find myself often moving the shift arm too far or not enough. One good feature is not being able to shut off the engine if the transmission is not in "park'. So that is a useful clue. But that still allows the distracted driver to exit the vehicle, motor idling, and the transmission not in park. I understand the shift mechanism has been changed for 2016 which may be an improvement. Personally, it sounds to me like they knew they had a potential problem.
