File date	12/09/16
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On 09-12-16 i was involved in a rear end collision (35+ mph). I was stopped in traffic (interstate highway). My vehicle was in eco mode and the vehicle's brake hold feature was activated, the brake was fully engaged/pressed, and hold was displayed on the forward instrument cluster. While stopped, another vehicle struck my vehicle from the rear. My vehicle's neck-pro retraint system activated and the hazards activated. No air bags were deployed. However, a few seconds after the accident, the brake hold feature deactivated and my vehicle began to roll into rush hour traffic. After actively pumping the brakes, to no avail, i initiated an offensive maneuver and swerved the vehicle off of the highway and onto unpaved side road/shoulder. My vehicle continued to roll forward and only stopped after i fully pressed/engaged the emergency brake. Is deactivating brake hold in a rear end collision a design flaw, or is this the intended function?
