Description of the problem | The electronic gear shifter is difficult to use and often shifts into an unintended gear during use. For instance, when pulling into a driveway and then reversing, i often get delayed in the maneuver as the shifter will shift to n instead of r from d, or while trying to reverse from p, it will shift to n instead of r. In times of traffic, this shifter requires me to take my eyes off of the road and onto the shifter itself to make sure it is shifting into the exactly the right gear, which can be hazardous. Also, when attempting to place the vehicle in p, it will shift into r just as easily as it will shift into p. I have left my vehicle before when it is in r thinking it was in p. |
