Description of the problem	All of the sudden my traction control is showing to be off and my brake lights are illuminating even when my car is off. It doesn't seem to be driving any differently or braking any differently. However, my 2 year old was able to start the car and shift it into reverse without having to use the brake pedal when he got in the car while i was trying to figure out how to turn the lights off because it is killing my battery. Luckily no one was injured. I see that there is recall 17v773000 on 2012 models which seems to explain my issue exactly. Why is my 2010 not included?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
