Had to stop for traffic. Tried to move forward, but emergency brake came on. Put car in park, shut off engine. Restarted and emergency brake came off. This is the second time this has happened.
While driving, the warning lights on the dashboard suddenly illuminated, and the emergency brakes engaged within seconds. When this occurred the vehicle immediately went to a complete stop. The vehicle was flat bedded to the dealership, and indicated that this problem occurred because of a computer failure and the engineers are working on it. The vehicle has been at the dealership for 12 days, in which this failure has occurred 3 times whiles being test driven.
