I came to a complete stop at traffic light with 2 vehicles ahead of me. The vehicle started moving slowly even though my foot was firmly on brake and as it touched the front vehicle, i quickly had to move the shift from drive to park to make the vehicle stop.

Less a complaint right now but how do out shut off the engine in case of a brake failure with a keyless start? Currently the only way to shut off the engine is when transmission is in park. If there is a kill switch inside the cabin i don't know where it's located.

The summit model is equipped with driving sensors that actuate the automatic braking. When backing out of my driveway which has a slight incline, the brake alarm goes off and the brakes suddenly engage. I had the 2015 model (fca replaced under lemon law) and the alert system never went off. (video available)
