I have had start/stop error a few times but the other day I turned my car on and it said car on and chimed that a door was open even tho no light was on indicating which door. So I got out and re closed all of them. I get back in my parking brake is on now and won’t come off. So I shut the car off give it a few minutes and turn it back on. I was able to get the parking brake off to back out of my parking spot as I’m pulling out of the parking lot I was in my parking brake comes on in the middle of the intersection. I had to turn my car off to get the parking brake to go off.

EPC, AUTO/SWITCH OFF ERROR, LANE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE AND YELLOW TRIANGLE EXCLAMATION MARK LIGHT ARE ALL ON AGAIN - 4th time same issue, the engine was about to stall on me and luckily I was close to my house. Additionally there was the issue with a part recalled related with the fuel. The car was shaking when hitting the gas and seemed like engine was about to give out. This car is not safe to drive and I’m reporting this safety issue with NHTSA due to many previous recalls on this model and will be applying for lemon law on Monday. There is a history of recalls with this model and I no longer feel safe. Unacceptable I have leased this car for six months and 4th time I’m having issues. I already had to stay with a rental car twice all together while they “repair” the issue and reassure me the car is safe. I rely on my car for work and I’m always on the highway. Today I had my entire family in the car and the engine almost gave up on me in the middle of of major busy road
