As I was accelerating my vehicle began to downshift and warning started flashing and the parking brake engaged while driving. When slowed at an interesection the car would notaccelerate forward when light turned green despite being in drive. Dash showed parking brake engaged even though it was not. The D on the gear shift was flashing. I had to turn the car off twice and restart while in the middle of an intersection! This is the SECOND time this has happened while driving. I took it to the dealer first time and they could not find anything wrong.
