I have been having trouble with my car for a while where it, most of the time, won-€™t start on the first try. I-€™ve been to my dealership multiple times and it just seems as if my car is declining after each session. I can-€™t even remote start my vehicle anymore. There will be times where I am stopped for a period of time and my car will stall and/or glitch out. The Stability Control and Electric Park Brake Trouble Indicators will come on as well as the Anti-lock Brake System Fault and Electric Power Steering Fault Indicators-€¦All at the same time. I will be looking around for Auto Shops that I trust but later down the line, if there is no breakthrough, I will buy another vehicle.
Pulling down my drive way my vehicle accelerated without me trying. I hit the brake and E brake. It did not stop us. In result of the acceleration my house stopped us.
Parked vehicle. While vehicle engine still running and placed in park, I removed my driver side seat belt. Within 10 seconds of doing so, the panel flashed that the AWD was disabled, the traction control light came on, and the warning indicator stated to "have parking brake serviced" I had not engaged the electronic parking brake manually, but attempted to reverse the vehicle, only to find the parking brake had engaged on it's own. I work in automotive warranty, so I logged into my work account and found that this is a similar problem with a short in the electronic parking brake sytem and is related to the seat belt. I placed vehicle in park, cut the power to the engine, waited for a few minutes, replaced my seat belt and restarted the vehicle. All the same codes flashed on the panel for a about 20 seconds, and then cleared. Upon further investigation, this is a common issue on this vehicle and has an epa issued for the electrical system short for the parking break and ABS system. Not sure why there isn't an official recall for this issue as if it were to occur while driving, injury would most likely occur when parking brake system self engages.
