NHTSA Complaint #11480687 — 2020 CHEVROLET TRAX

My husband and I were leaving a local grocery store, when we began backing up and the "hillside assist" light came on for a 5% or so incline. So after backing up, we pulled out of the parking spot and our brakes began locking up, this continued all the way home (about 3 miles). The error msg, "service stabilitrak" came on when we were pulling into our driveway. We called the dealer where we purchased it because we have less than 48000 miles on it and they said that we may have repairs covered under the power train. However, stabilitrak is not part of the power train, I guess he didn't think I would know that. So we hung up, and did a little forum research and found out we would have to reset the computer to make it "unlock" the brakes. We unhooked the battery for half an hour and reset the computer and it worked, our car is running fine now. My husband was a truck driver for a decade, he knows how to drive in potentially risky situations. However, I think it should be investigated because of the potential safety risk. Since we were doing 25 mph or less this was easily handled for a short distance. However, this would be catastrophic if someone were on the highway when this happened. It could easily cause an accident at any speed. Anyone with less skill than a seasoned truck driver, could be killed if this happened to them. Please investigate this matter.
