When I was pulling out of a parking spot in reverse the brake was fighting me so it kept going into a concrete pillar then when I shifted it into drive it did it again and now matter how hard I pressed the brake it couldn't of stopped till it ran into a fence not far in front of the car when it hit the concrete pillar. I quickly turned it off and back on then it responded accordly then. It was like the ABS was fighting me when I was pressing the brake and not allowing me brake to be pressed to slow/stop the car both first in reverse then forward to pull away from the crash.

The button to start and start the vehicle is right next to the radio button. Both buttons are pushed to turn them on and off. I accidentally hit the engine start button instead of the radio button, all power to the vehicle was turned off, complete loss of power steering, brakes and engine. In order to restart I had to come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park and then restart the vehicle, had this occurred at any speed other than the very low speed I was going, it would have likely caused a major accident. I strongly feel that this is a major safety issue and at a minimum need to have the vehicle reprogrammed to prevent it from being turned off while the vehicle is moving.
