Consumer Description

I WAS STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY MULTI LANE INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN I ACCELERATED AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF THEN ON BY STOP/START BUTTON SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL VEHICLE ENGAGED. VERY SCARY. IT JUST BASICALLY STALLED. SEVERAL OTHER THINGS WERE AFFECTED SUCH AS INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INDICATIONS THAT WERE NEVER ON BEFORE AND WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN I GO ON/OFF OPTIONS FOR THOSE DISPLAYS. RUNNING LIGHTS ALSO SUDDENLY WILL NOT WORK. UPSETTING TO SAY THE LEAST. VERY DANGEROUS. I AM NOT SURE BUT THINK THE START/START FEATURE MAY BE INVOLVED AS I HAD IT ON. IT WAS AROUND 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE TEMP. VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 11,000 MILES ON IT.
