Warnings problem

Yesterday, December 17, 2020, while backing from a parking space the brakes self-applied, no alarm sounded prior, and while not close to anything. I could let off the accelerator and the brake would release some. When straightened out and driving a short distance down the aisle it happened 2 or 3 more times and gave a red side warning light. Dead stops, accelerator felt hard to push. Happened both when cars were on the side(s) and none close at all. I got to the intersection with no cars close on all 4-sides. When I pulled into the intersection, it braked to a complete stop and refused to move. By playing with throttle and drive/park buttons, I got the car moving, I pulled into an open area and shut the car off, and restarted. I drove home, went through an 8-foot garage door, and parked with no more problems. This all happened in a walmart parking lot and exit lane. Due to the hard braking, if there had been cars behind or approaching a collision would have been possible if the other driver could not react to avoid my car.
