I HAVE HAD 2 INSTANCES WITH THE ROTARY SHIFT ON THIS VEHICLE. IN BOTH CASES I HAD THOUGHT THE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY IN REVERSE.WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. HOWEVER, WHEN THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED I HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE AS A PASSENGER. NEITHER OF US WERE ABLE TO STOP IT AND CONTINUED BACKWARDS AND STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED. THIS CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS INJURED AND NOW I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING THIS VEHICLE INTO THE PARK MODE. I CHECKED THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION ASSUMING THAT IN AN EMERGENCY I COULD STOP THE ENGINE BUT FOUND THIS WOULD NOT WORK. IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE A BIT DIFFERENT THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A CAR DEALERS LOT WHTH MY VEHICLE BACKING AND STRIKING ON OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOT.
