When starting the car, the car lurches forward even though the clutch is pressed down and the transmission shouldn't be engaged. Luckily, I always use the parking brake when parking and the car is stopped after a very short movement as the brake engages. The car will not shift either when this happens. It reoccurs at least once a week and has happened for the last 2 months. The short turn fix is to turn the engine off, then back on and repeat until the car lets you change gear. I plan on taking it into the dealer since it's still under warranty when I get some free time.
