I drove the vehicle, parked, and I noticed the engine fan didnt turn off in a reasonable amount of time after parked (over 2 hours). I drove to the dealer only for them to refuse to run a simple diagnostic. Was driving and vehicle being accelerating even after I completely removed me feet; I also looked down witnessed the pedal modulating itself in and out, shortly followed by an abrupt braking incident. I was just able to restart and pull over to emergency stop. I hadnt gotten far from the dealer, so after two hours of waiting for a tow truck, I attempted to drive the truck back to the dealer only to have the same violent braking but this time also followed by a sporadic loss of power steering. I was able to creep the vehicle back to the dealer and control any losses of control, it felt like the vehicle was having a seizure. Please investigate my stall, unintended braking, power steering loss, and fan (I imagine this could be a fire issue as well). Thank you

I was rear-ended while I was stopped in traffic. There was minor damage to my rear bumper however this caused numerous issues with my car immediately thereafter. I experienced numerous electrical issues and then it got worse. I lost steering, brakes and and the engine stalled. The car became immobile and had to be towed to the dealership. After they serviced the vehicle, they found that the battery shorted out and the ecu had failed. I believe that because the problems occurred immediately after the collision that it was the collision that triggered them. I feel that this is a design flaw that could be very dangerous in such a situation.
