Shift lever/gear control and indicator devices: The vehicle can be switched off even when it isn't in park, and this action does not engage the parking function. Instead, it remains in Neutral, which means the car may roll—even on a slight slope like a driveway. This poses a safety risk as the car could potentially move and endanger people exiting the vehicle. If the person is not attentive or physically unable to react quickly, child/elderly/pets, anyone really, the door could knock them over, possibly causing more serious bodily harm from the tires or other parts of the vehicle since it continues to move.

The vehicle repeatedly displays “Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled” upon startup and while driving, even when the windshield is clean and weather conditions are clear. When this occurs, the lane departure warning system becomes disabled while driving. This happens without driver input and results in loss of lane safety alerts. Additionally, the driver’s side power window intermittently stops moving while the switch is being held in the up or down position. The window does not complete its movement unless the switch is released and pressed again. There is no obstruction present. Safety risk: Unexpected loss of lane departure warning while driving increases crash risk, especially at highway speeds or at night. A driver’s window that stops responding can cause distraction and prevent timely closure in traffic or adverse weather. Warning messages: “Driver Assist Camera Blocked / Disabled” Frequency: Intermittent but recurring Mileage at first occurrence: 191
