The dashbord says that the transmission needs service. I put the car on park, it starts blinking saying car not on park and once I take my foot off the brake the engine turns off. Plus the switch stays on so I had to unhook the battery.

Rear trunk will not open with key fob, rear trunk button or trunk button located inside the car only way trunk can be opened is with emergency pull down thru rear back seats. Also, computer apps on display screen constantly resetting itself, freezes up constantly and cannot turn down or off radio or any other features until it resets itself. Back up camera terrible when in use at night screens blurry and bright red from back up or brake lights. Back up camera stays on after vehicle is put in drive. Many blind spots on both sides of vehicle.. problem with trunk just started but I've only had the vehicle for about 6 months. Also 6 days after I bought the car had to be taken back to the dealer because of transfer case leaking oil. Transfer case replaced
