Consumer Description

There is no sound warning to switch gears. For example from forward to reverse. I was trying to go forward and I was actually in reverse. The gear change is on the steering stalk and doesn’t make any warning sound when switching. As the drivers eyes are looking forward, and not looking at the screen feedback, it makes it difficult to remember which gear you are in. Forward or reverse. I assumed I was going to move forward, but the car was actually in reverse. I hit the car that was parked behind me and did damage to my car. I’m feel that most cars makes a physical click sound with the gears shifting as well as a small jump in movement to remind the driver they have switched directions.
