The manual explains how to deal with this because they have to explain it to you, not because they "knew" it was coming. Nothing is perfect, and unfortunatly somthing has happened...I'm sure the dealer will correct it.

I do agree that some of the little things were not done right, but overall it is a fine vehicle.

I too have the problem with the rubber gasket on the door falling off....kinda odd and irritating.

regarding the transmission, complain to the dealer. I had a similar experience. Mine was reprogrammed and it shifts nicely now.

What is your build date? Do you have the latest progman version?
