when brakes 1st applied there was a scraping noise. Recommended specialist examine the breaks and dealer replaced pads and break fluid. After about 4 months the new pads finally settled in. 
Within first 200 miles the stability control and hill assist lights came on. Car feels like its going to stall when lights first come on, then stay on and rides ok. Took 2 visits to confirm defective YAW module to be replaced.

13000 mi The hill start & stability lights come on when car is in motion, on flat surface. Would stay on until car was restarted. This was same problem that was occurring when car was first purchased and received major repairs to correct.
