Front coalition senson and warning light goes on for no reason while driving at a low speed disableling the senson. This has happened about 5 to 6 times on various dates while driving in the city and I have to stop turn the car off and on in order to reset the computer by itself. Sometimes it will turn off by itself too!. driver side mirror light coalition senson was activating all the time while driving on the highway without any cars around. Never noticed this happening before, because I live in queens NY and I usually drive to the city and I have lots of cars all the time so it's constantly turns on and off.

The car stopped accelerating unexpectedly in the middle of the freeway while I was driving about 60mph. All kinds of emergency lights came up for no apparent reason, and the car blocked. The gear was locked and wouldn't respond to restarting the car. The car had to the towed, and after getting it in the truck I realized that one side of the headlights weren't working. The car has only 1700 miles. A similar but less severe event happeed threes days before. I took it to the dealer's service and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with the car.
