I was driving on the n. J. Tpke. At highway speed. I accidentally hit the push button start button. The engine shut off and the dash said shift into park. I could not restart the car until I came to a stop, shifted into park, but my foot on the brake and pushed the button. You can't open the trunk without the transmission being in park, yet you can shut everything down just by accidentally touching this button. Not safe.
