Consumer Description

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AUTO START/STOP TURNED THE CAR OFF AS NORMAL. A FEW MOMENTS LATER THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE ELECTRONIC EMERGENCY BRAKE TURNED ON. I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP IT WOULD NOT. THE DASH READ OUT IN PARK AND START. I ATTEMPTED HOWEVER CAR WOULD NOT START. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT TURN OFF EITHER. I HAD TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE FOR A TOW. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 11,400 MILES. THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP I AM WAITING ON THEIR INVESTIGATION.
