“I stopped for a red light, I saw a pop up on the dashboard that read 'brake assist disengaged'. At that point the car shut itself off. I tried to restart with no success, it wouldn't even try to turn over. After sitting in traffic for about three minutes unable to restart the car, I just kept hitting the start / stop button and it finally turned over and started. I reported this incident to the dealership and was told they would work on the car if it happened again! If it happens again it could result in a much worse outcome. …”
