Your brakes became stiff while stopping, nearly causing a collision. Additionally, your car stalls unexpectedly while driving and at traffic lights when you try to accelerate, leaving you stranded and requiring multiple restart attempts. You're also experiencing long cranking times before the engine starts. The dealership has quoted over $8,000 to repair these issues, which likely involve brake system service and fuel/engine system diagnostics to address the stalling and starting problems.
