Parking sensor failed when pulling in parking spot and didn’t alert driver of concrete light pole that was approaching vehicle.
The emergency braking system initiated during operating my vehicle (has done it 3 times) for no reason. It locks up my engine and will not let me operate the vehicle. The software went crazy with warnings. Would not allow me to turn off the engine.
