I was a stop light and the vehicle suddenly shut off and would not let me restart it. After awhile and a few warning systems the vehicle finally turned over. After that the engine light came on and the vehicle started to run a diagnostics which I was unable to see. As I begin to drive again the vehicle stability control cuts off and causes me to temporarily lose control of the vehicle. As I'm regaining control of the vehicle the traction control takes over again and helps me out. I'm not sure as to what happened to my vehicle still waiting for the dealer to get back to me. But whatever it was it wasn't safe and put me in a dangerous spot during rush hour traffic

Weird burn marks have appeared on the top of my muffler. I bought the car on March 15th, 2019. I first noticed it on April 21st, 2019 (see car doc 2 photo). I took it in to have it looked at on May 8th, when it was determined it was just a cosmetic problem. It was replaced on May 15th. Today, May 24th, 2019, I looked at it and saw the same problem starting again (see car doc 3 photo). A representative at the dealership told me they saw another Ecosport with the same issue, but no one can identify the problem. I'm growing concerned as it looks to be a burn, or some kind of reaction with materials. It looks as if something is dripping onto the muffler from above, and that it's not the muffler itself with the issue. I also attached my service invoice from when it was replaced the first time.
