> lights permanently on

This is wrong. You can turn them off. Even DRL. If your car cannot you should complain to the manufacturer or live in one of the very few states requiring it.

> engine turns off when stationary

My previous car had a button specifically to disable it and it did so permanently. My current one doesn't need to.

> car brakes on its own

This is a manufacturer choice. Buy another car. Mine can be user disabled permanently.

> signals left/right at least 3 times

Manufacturer choice, usually for the non-flip indicator mechanic, which you likely can configure. If you flip it fully it might only do one, you should try it.
