Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)BRAKE, ABS, Wrench, check engine lights all began intermittently coming on. Before we could bring it into the dealer, it went into "limp mode" while at a very dangerous time and would not move forward while in "Drive". Had to abandon the car in a roadside parking lot. Finally able to get it to the dealer and after their inspection we were told it was NOT repairable. The EBCM module (part of the brake system) was defective and NO parts existed. When we pressed the dealer, no other options or resolutions were offered. Even if a part could be found at eBay, re-manufacturers, or junk yards, they would not touch it. I have had not luck finding a part, re-manufacturer, or repair shop that could be of any help. Right now it is a worthless piece of junk. All correspondence with the dealer has been verbal to this point.

I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET WITH A STEEP HILL. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. MY BREAKS STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND I ROLLED BACK INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME.
