Message was “hill assist disabled”, warning lights were for ABS , TCS operations. We called the dealership and we’re told to return to them.

Body and structure: “So I just had my oil changed. And when they shut the hood, the hood stop fell out the bottom. They really just glued the hood stop on? This is allowed?

When slowing down or stopping completely and ready to accelerate, the Brake Applied - Power Reduced comes on locking all wheels and you are only able to go a maximum of 5 mph. You need to hit the brakes hard to release the locked wheels and continue. …”
