Applied the brake while approaching a crosswalk and suddenly multiple warning notifications appeared on dashboard (brake failure, collision avoidance system not functioning, etc) and every warning light started flashing. Lost power steering and brakes. Had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian. Once stopped could not change the gear, engage the parking brake, or turn the car off. I was on a hill and needed to keep my foot on the brake pedal forcefully to avoid rolling down the hill into cross traffic. Firefighters chocked the wheels but could not disable the car. Car was towed to the dealership.
