Description of the problem	2020 ford explorer st with approximately 5,200 miles. Yesterday, i started the vehicle and put it into reverse and it started to roll backwards even though my foot was on the brake. Regardless of how hard i pushed the brake, the car continued to lunge backward until i fully depressed/repressed the brake. With my foot on the brake the vehicle continued to move. This same event occurred a few months ago but when in drive and the vehicle continued to lunge forward despite my foot full pressing the brake as much as possible. I shut off the vehicle, waited a few minutes, and attempted to restart. Restarted without issue. Today, i attempted to start the car and all lights on the dashboard began flashing and the engine failed to turnover.

My next attempt was a few hours later and the vehicle started without error, but did not give any indication that the vehicle had failed to start the previous time and the
