Description of the problem	I was stopped in a parking space with the car running. I put the car in reverse to leave and noticed a car coming so i pushed on the brakes to stop, however the brakes did not engage. I pushed all the way to the floor and the car kept rolling. There was no resistance to the brakes, they felt loose with no resistance. I checked my feet to make sure i was actually pressing the brake and i was. The car was not stopping, and another car was coming behind me, so in order to finally stop i had to put the car into park. I waited a minute and then tried to put the car into drive and the brakes worked. I then put the car in reverse again and the brakes were working. About 30 minutes later i was attempting to turn the car on after leaving a store, and when i pressed the brake and then pushed the start button i received an error message that said to press the brake to start the car. However i was pressing the brake. I took my foot off the brake and then tried again and the car started. So this was a second time in the span of an hour that the car did not recognize the brake was pressed. The car was taken the very next day to the dealership however they did not see a code that had been thrown and they have been unable to replicate the issue.
