Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING MY CAR, I ATTEMPT TO TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND I NEED TO STEP ON MY BRAKES AS IF I AM SLAMMING THEM JUST TO MOVE MY CAR OUT OF PARK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE REVERSED, I NOTICED THIS AT NIGHT WHEN A CAR ALMOST HIT ME. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BRAKE SENSOR SO I CHANGED IT AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE THEN 3 CARS HAVE ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE OF THIS BRAKING ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING MY TRACTION LIGHT ALSO COMES ON, IT STATES 'SERVICE TRACTION, SERVICE ESC' AND MAKES MY CAR SHAKE.
