   My vehicle dash displayed "vehicle not in park" multiple times immediately after I put it in the drive position. At times I could push the "ok" prompt and proceed to drive but when I slowed or. stopped at intersections it would occur again and sometimes it applied the park brake without any action on my part. Around the same time I started getting "door module fault" or "door lock fault" warnings. It's been at a dealer over a month so I don't recall the exact wording now.…

   I was driving my car when all of a sudden it lost all acceleration and power, I was lucky that I wasn't on the highway anymore and was able to pull over safely on a side street while car was rolling still. Dealer said 12V battery fused, and I have been reading forums where this is a common issue.. In a normal ICE car when 12V battery dies while driving, car can still drive, in this case, it just stops and pops up a dozen errors about everything being broken.

    I was driving on the freeway when out of nowhere the vehicle alerted me to "Stop safely now". I no longer had any power and could not accelerate. I was doing 70 MPG in the middle lane and had to switch to the right lane, then to the shoulder of a busy interstate. This was extremely dangerous as I was losing speed quickly, and luckily had no one to my right side. If there was traffic I would have been at risk with anyone to my right also at risk.
