1 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2019

My car emergency brake light button has turned on all byitself while I am driving. The car stops and shuts off. Then I am in the middle of the road and I have to put my car in park, press the pull on p button to turn it off. This is a safety issue. A car behind can crash into me. This has happened 5 times since February, this morning was my 6 time. I do not feel safe in my car anymore, afraid of turning off while I am driving.

2 Brake Light On problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2018

Stop system that stops the car at red lights for fuel econom. My car would all of the sudden accelerate without my putting foot on gas peddle. Took to dealer. He said there was a known issue with it, and wiped the memory and did an update . My concern is that when it did this I almost got into an accident with another car in front of me. It accelerated so fast I almost lost control too. When they test drove it they couldn't find anything wrong. But when they hooked it up to find any error codes they found 2. That's when they discovered the problem. My biggest concern is that they said it was a kniwn issue yet no recall to bring my car in for the updated fix. Hadvi not been trained for situations like this I or someone else could have gotten killed. The vehicle was in motion going down hill I was riding the brake because of the hill. When I had let up off the brake slightly that's when it accelerated so fast I almost lost control.
