When the vacuum is turned on is the brush roll supposed to spin because mine doesn't

The brush roll has its own motor. You have to buy a replacement. It costs about half the cost of the vacuum itself! I just bought one… and now the actual vacuum has completely died on me. This thing has been nothing but money and hassle!

After a few seconds of being on it turns itself off and flashes between the hardfloor and carpet settings before turning off completely! It’s done this with both batteries and is just new so have no idea what is wrong with it?
