1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2018

On 5 separate occasions, the vehicle indicated vehicle is in park. However, this has happened while vehicle is in motion. Once, on highway and remaining four times occurred on city streets. On all 5 occasions, vehicle would allow me to put into park but would not allow me turn vehicle off. 4 of 5 times this occurred, I drove around while occasionally stopping to put car into reverse and back thru gears again before it'd finally let me park and turn off. 1 of 5 times, the car let me put into park and press start button until it went to 3rd setting before it'd allow me turn vehicle me off. In addition, 2 times this vehicle, while in motion on city street, has switched into 1 or 2 drive gear without my putting it there. Once stopped, I had to try going thru gears many times before it'd let me return to d. My belief is there is an issue with shifter or perhaps an issue with whatever ties in or attached to shifter. I apologize I'm not mechanically inclined. I do have pictures and a video of car not shutting off because it states it's in park when it's not.

2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2017

When I put the car in drive, I hear the car wanting to go in overdrive. It is scary and sometimes it jumps to overdrive 1 or 2. I have to slow down put it in neutral while all the time on the major highway. . Very scary. . I've been very prudent because it doesn't do it all the time. . Icons have brake on and a small motor light on?. . Went to the local garage and they couldn't see the problem, they took it out for a dive on florida highway 95 and they couldn't feel anything!! I still drive the car but very worried. Hope to hear from you soon. The oil and car checked when sticker says to bring it in!! I'm experiencing this a least 3 times a week and getting more often!!.
