Sua incident - coasting before entering garage as usual with my right foot on floor and not engaged with accelerator or brake. Upon entering the garage car began to accelerate, naturally shocking/baffling me, as I had already started braking and continued to do that to no avail as car proceeded to hit back wall of the garage where acceleration stopped,car came to rest. I never drive with two feet and am absolutely certain my foot was on the brake and brake was not responding. Also car did not accelerate with the same sound as it normally would if I pressed the gas peddle. It accelerated more like it was on cruise control...very smooth and steady. Actually I'm grateful the wall wasn't far away so it didn't accelerate further. The incident happened june 11,2020 at around 10 am. Do not know reason for sua, but will note that we had the garage door sensors repositioned on june 10. I'm noting that because where they are is about when I felt acceleration starting.

The engine shuts down while driving down the highway and you lose all electrical power. It will sometimes not restart for up to 15 minutes. The engines shuts down for a few seconds to a minute and then restarts on its own. It leaves the warning lights for the ABS, awd and traction control on and they don't go off until you cycle the ignition switch. The radio/ navigation screen also locks up when this happens.

The light on the cruise control stalk blinks and it is very distracting at night while driving. Then the cruise control started dropping out while driving. No warning lights or codes were stored in the computer when checked by the dealer. The dealer replaced the cruise control switch, but the problem got worse. The engine started shutting off while driving on the highway with a total loss of electrical power and would take several minutes before it would restart due to no electrical power. The dealer then adjusted the switch on the brake pedal but it didn't help. The radio/navigation screen has since locked up and you have to restart the car to reset it. The engine will sometimes shut of for a few seconds and the restart on its own while driving. When this happens several warning lights stay on (ABS, airbags, traction control & all wheel drive). The lights do not reset until the car is turned off and back on by the key. I have almost been involved in 3 accidents because of these problems. The car is now in the shop after contacting the manufacturer several times about the failure of the dealer to repair the car and that it is unsafe to drive. It is at a different dealership due to the selling dealers incompetence in their service department and management to address the problem. These problems have been going on for over 5 months and over a period of 15,000 miles and I do not believe it can be fixed and I do not believe the manufacturer is really trying to repair the car because of all the stalling they are currently doing at this time. I need your help.
