    The digital speedometer and infotainment system shut off and restart at random. In addition, the speakers crackle, the radio stops working, the backup camera does not always engage when going in reverse. The digital speedometer screen has turned off twice and the only (temporary) solution was for the dealer to reset the system.

    When going down a straigt hill going around 15mph my rpm's go up to 5 and 6. If i press the gas they go up higher. I usually have to pull over when this happens so it the rpm's stop climbing higher. This also happens somethimes when going on a backroad going around 20-25mph but the rpm's only go between 2-3. It seems like the gears are not shifting.
