| Description of the problem | Similar complaints already logged. While driving at any speed warning lights for abs, eye-sight, dynamic vehicle assitance, hill-start assistance come on. Took the vehicle to the dealership to get it checked out. They replaced the brake light switch and said the problem was fixed. Upon driving, the problem persisted, this time with the brakes being applied by the vehicle itself while in motion on a highway moving at highway speed despite my foot not being on either the brake or gas pedal. With the decrease in speed, i attempted to accelerate the vehicle to no avail. At this time i pulled the vehicle off to the shoulder, put it in park, and then back into drive to see if the problem had been corrected. I pressed the accelerator for a period of time before ultimately the drive reengaged. Online there appear to be numerous others who have had similar issues: https://www. Carcomplaints.
