Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RANDOMLY COMES ON BY ITSELF WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUTTON. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IN REVERSE OR JUST CRANKING THE VEHICLE. ALSO TONIGHT MY RADIO AND USB PORT COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LIKE I HAD TURNED MY CAR OFF, WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH. THEN IT TURNED BACK ON BY ITSELF LIKE I HAD JUST TURNED MY CAR ON, I WAS STILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
