“On september 25, 2019, I was approaching an intersection going 25 MPH. I applied the brakes to stop at the light, and the car kept moving.

The car only stopped when I turned it off.”

The first 2 times, I was under 25 MPH and it started stalling. Several lights were flashing on the dashboard cautioning engine failure, brake failure, tire pressure failure, etc. The car was making pinging noises while these lights were flashing and it wouldn't drive any longer. I had no choice but to pull over to the side of the road and wait for a tow truck to take me to the dealership. …”
