Typical brake symptoms owners report

Rear-wheel steering actuators reportedly act erratically, causing the rear end to fishtail or hang up mid-turn.
Owners describe sudden fishtailing or swerving at highway speeds, sometimes with the steering wheel turning unexpectedly.
Multiple warning lights — VSA, power steering, lane departure, brake assist — reportedly flash on together, sometimes limiting speed to under 50 mph.
Some owners report a moaning or loud noise from the rear when driving straight or turning, linked by one owner to a technical bulletin.
A few complaints describe unexpected deceleration or steering pull strong enough to feel unsafe on the highway.
Owners say dealers replaced actuators but the same symptoms returned later at higher mileage.
