I was driving on the southern state parkway in new york during rush hour. Driving approx 10mph at a steady pace and had been in the car for about an hour. All of a sudden my 2017 evoque stalled out when I pressed the gas pedal. I came to a stop in the middle of the traffic lane, as there wasn't enough time to pull off the road. Once I shifted the shift knob into park, the knob disappeared into the center console as pictured. Numerous attempts were made to restart the car with no luck and no error indication on the dash. The car would not start and the shift knob would not pop up under any circumstance. I turned the car off and back on, the shift knob remained down. Once the tow truck arrived, the driver and I could not shift the car out of park to neutral to get the 2017 evoque on the flatbed. The car had to be dragged onto the flatbed in park due to the inaccessible shifter and failed engine/powertrain. There is no available accessible override to unlock or release this shifter. This is a major safety hazard, not only for the powertrain stopping without warning, but the shift knob descending into the center console and not allowing the gear to be changed.

Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
With 1300 miles, car stalled multiple times, found that fuel leaks into the oil pan, smells of fuel fumes constantly, particularly in closed spaces like home garage. Losing and expending fuel at an accelerated rate. Been in service without answers more than driven; 6 visits totaling over 69 days within the first 3-4 months of ownership there is a know technical bulletin on the 'fuel rail' on the same model and year but not our VIN#.
The vehicle completely shut down while I was driving on a major highway causing a life-threatening situation. This is the second time the issue has occurred. The first time I was exiting a highway and managed to get to the access road before the engine shut down again. It will restart and immediately shut down. It seems to occur when slowing down following highway driving at 55+MPH. Both incidents required police assistance to redirect heavy traffic.
The vehicle completely shut off, rendering a 'life-threatening malfunction', while exiting the toll road at over 30mph. This episode was repeated once more at the same location one month later. On the third episode, the vehicle completely shut off while at a stoplight. And the most recent, fourth, episode included an alert text stating 'gear-box failure'.
While driving at approximately 10 MPH in city traffic an error light indicating "gear box fault" appeared followed by numerous other warnings. The vehicle shut off and coasted to a stop. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for service, after 26 days in service and 80 miles driven by a service technician the dealer continues to tell me they have no idea what the problem is. They indicated that the computer reports indicate a major problem occured but they are unable to recreate it.
