Read the owners manual regarding issue #1. The transmission will revert to DRIVE while in manual mode after a short period of time if it is not shifted manually with the handle. This is normal operation.
The " little round keyhole" comes off so the shifter mechanism can be shifted out of gear without a key in the event the car needs to be towed or if the mechanism becomes "jammed". A small screwdrver or similar tool is pushed down through the opening to release the shifter so it can be moved.
All is well.
