Consumer Description

ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY TRACTION CONTROL IS SHOWING TO BE OFF AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATING EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS OFF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE DRIVING ANY DIFFERENTLY OR BRAKING ANY DIFFERENTLY. HOWEVER, MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND SHIFT IT INTO REVERSE WITHOUT HAVING TO USE THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN HE GOT IN THE CAR WHILE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF BECAUSE IT IS KILLING MY BATTERY. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. I SEE THAT THERE IS RECALL 17V773000 ON 2012 MODELS WHICH SEEMS TO EXPLAIN MY ISSUE EXACTLY. WHY IS MY 2010 NOT INCLUDED?
