NHTSA Complaint #11281801 — 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

ON OCTOBER 1, 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW TRAVERSE FROM KELLEY CHEVROLET OF FORT WAYNE INDIANA. MY QUESTION IS CAN THE AUTO STOP ON MY NEW 2018 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE BE DISABLED. I JUST HAD A CLOSE CALL INVOLVING THE AUTO STOP. I WAS IN BRANSON MO ON VACATION AND THIS PLACE IS BUILT ON HILLS AND MORE HILLS. I HAD COME TO A STOP ON A HILLSIDE AND THE CAR WENT TO AUTO STOP. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE SO AUTO STOP WOULD NOT BE ENGAGED THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD NO BRAKES OR STEERING OF THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD ' THANK GOODNESS THERE WERE NO CARS BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING TOWARD A VERY STEEP HILL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WITH NO BRAKES I COULD NOT STOP. INSTEAD I PULLED HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND GOT IT CROSSWISE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ME SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET THE ENGINE STARTED. AUTO STOP IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT AND THIS SCARED THE DICKENS OUT OF ME. CAN IT BE REPROGRAMMED TO NOT WORK?
