Consumer Description

ISSUE WITH BREAK HOLD FEATURE. WHEN BRAKE HOLD BUTTON IS ON CAR WILL KEEP THE BRAKE ON EVEN WHEN DRIVER RELEASES THE PETAL. IN ADDITION THE VEHICLE IS DEFAULTED SO THE ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY WILL SHUT OFF WHEN BRAKE PETAL IS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. BUT OFTEN WHEN THE HVAC SYSTEM NEEDS TO RUN IT WILL START THE ENGINE WHILE STOPPED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE AUTO BRAKE RELEASES AND CAR STARTS MOVING FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, BRAKE HOLD IS ON, ENGINE AUTO OFF IS ON AND SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ENGINE IS OFF BUT CAR IS TURNED ON. AC STARTS WHICH MAKES ENGINE START, ENGINE STARTING CAUSES BRAKE TO RELEASE. THE VEHICLE MOVES FORWARD. IT COULD CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR OR RUN SOMEONE OVER. IT HAPPENS A LOT. DO I NEED TO REPORT EACH TIME IT HAPPENS?
