Putting the car in reverse and pressing the accelerator sometimes causes the vehicle to move forward instead of backward.
A 12V electrical system error appears on start-up and prevents the vehicle from being put into gear, though it sometimes clears after re-entering the car.
Charging-related messages such as 'Disconnect the Charging Cable' appear while driving, and the car independently shifts into park and stops responding to the accelerator.
