So I casually reach for the sunglasses holder and accidentally hit the trunk release button. Then have to get out and do the "walk of shame" to close it. :frusty:
I've also activated the wipers accidentally when moving my hand from the shifter to the steering wheel in a turn. :headbang:

One thing you fail to mention is if you use your cell phone while driving. Not saying this is you, but consider this:

Dealer came through with more details, build date is set as July 24th. Since she ordered it in May this isn't going to work. Why take delivery in mid to late August when a redesigned model is coming in the fall.
