“While driving about 45 MPH in no traffic, warning light came on the crash breaking not available. Approximately 3 minutes later the vehicle stalled. We had to coast to the side of the road. We were able to restart it there. The dealer said there was a bug on the sensor. The vehicle was brought back to us and now it is dead again and won't start. The vehicle is brand new and the stall occurred on our first outing. It was towed back to the dealer.”
