Brake Light On problem #1

After backing out of my garage, my xt5 after 3 previous brake stops two with stop signs, the next stop the brakes locked up with a sudden stop. I did nothing different with the 4th stop when the brakes locked. I noticed that the brake light was displayed and needed to be pressed to in order to drive the car to reach a city road.

Service Brakes problem #2

Numerous problems for a year have been: engine dies while driving, car totally dead with new battery, display partially black randomly or totally black along with radio display black, park assist is turned off. Headlights turn off and on by themselves; the latest is driving up a hill @ 25 mph, the steering wheel jerked hard to the right at 2 different times. Had I not had a solid grip on the wheel, it would have taken down a 500 foot drop and we wouldn't be here today. This last episode is the first time their obd was able to read anything. It read "no communication to steering, no communication to brakes, radio, dash display" and other no communications. This car is unsafe to drive and should be recalled or taken off the road. It has been to 2 dealerships and so far have not identified anything that gives me faith in the reliability in the vehicle.
