This vehicle slips out gear easily while in motion. The gear shift can knocked out of drive and this is dangerous because you then have to find a spot to stop and put the car back into drive. This has happened on the street. This has happened several times (daughter accidentally hit it with her knee, purse strap fell over the shift, bag pulled it out of drive).

Check engine light came on 3 times in 3 months from September 2016 to November 2016. Each time, the vehicle was taken in for service and the light still came back on. The first time, the fuel level unit was replaced, the second time, there were no problems found and the system was reset, the third time, the pump assembly was replaced. This is a safety issue and a hassle.
