Here's a weird one: Stopped at a coffee shop on my way to work, and the car wouldn't go in to Park. I could shift it to Neutral, Drive or Reverse, but the Park button wouldn't do anything. I didn't want to leave it in neutral, so I played around a bit more and it finally DID go in to Park, but the door handles didn't extend.

The handles did extend when I opened the door from the inside, and they did auto-present when I came back with my coffee.

When I arrived at work (fingers crossed), it did go into Park, but the door handles again did not extend until I got out.

I didn't have a chance to try a center screen re-boot, but will over the lunch hour. Not sure if that's something a re-boot could fix (thinking that the car's primary controls -- including being able to shift gears) were supposedly separate from the types of things the center screen controls.
