Trim on the shifter bezel peels off in a way that presents a sharp blade like surface at the edge nearest the storage bin. This results in cuts to the user. The area is difficult to see and is often where users reach. Cars should not produce sharps of this nature in the cabin. My wife cut herself while driving. Vehicle in motion on a city street.

During yearly maintenance work, dealer stated on multi-point inspection that tires were inflated to 36 P.S. I. when I checked tire pressure with gauge, all 4 tires were at 20 P.S.I. there was no TPMS light on the dash. The owners manual lists in bold letters, TPMS. However, it is really indirect TPMS. What is not mentioned in the owners manual, is that if all 4 tires are underinflated the same amount, the TPMS light will never illuminate, ever. I think this fact should be mentioned in the owners manual. I think that most owners, myself included, think that if your tires are underinflated, the TPMS light on the dash will illuminate.
