Gear shift can easily slide from Drive to Neutral (and from Neutral to Reverse) if a book, purse, or other object is on the center console and slides forward and touches the gearshift when vehicle comes to a stop. Photos attached show me shifting from D to N with my pinky finger. This is a safety problem because if the center console is flat, making it easy for someone to place an object on it. When the car needs to stop somewhat quickly, the object on the console slides forward and pushes the gearshift into Neutral. This happened to me while I was in traffic, resulting in confusion as to why I could not drive the car forward after my stop. I then realized the car had been shifted into neutral. I shifted the car back into Drive and removed the object from the console. Safety issue for anyone beginning to drive this car wi the out this knowledge. Could also occur if a passenger (unknown to the driver) places an object on the console.

Safety issue, random, with 360 View Monitor cameras malfunctioning. This camera issue has happened randomly at least 7 times since I purchased the car in May 2023. The most recent occurrences were 10/26, 09/27, 09/23, 08/03/2023. What happens: when starting the car, 360 View Monitor should show images of surroundings. Instead, no image from the cameras shows; it-??s black on the screen. Colored lines show the direction the car is backing up or moving forward, but the rest of the screen is black. When it occurs, it will remain in this faulty condition for the entire drive. The button on the console (left of gearshift) that turns on the image cameras when driving will show the same image. It will remain in this disabled mode until the car is turned off for a long time. I-??ve tried turning it off and letting it sit until the computer sounds like it has shut off (2-3 min, perhaps), and restarting the vehicle -?" this does not cure the problem. The car seems to need to be turned off for a longer time. If I turn the car off and return in, say, 2 or more hours, the issue is cured (temporarily). Attached are still images from a video. This is random in occurrence and seems to be completely unpredictable when it will will happen. Safety issue.

Problem noticed shortly after purchasing the car in May 2023, and is a constant issue. Always: when driving, and when I press the the button to the left of the gearshift to activate the 360 View Monitor, the default image shows a useless, mostly black, image. (Scrolling to the other two, non-default images, they are useful images.). Instead, it gives the appearance of a black gap in the space around the car. I am attaching several still images from a video. Safety concern, because the image is not correct, and this is a listed safety feature.
