Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Owners describe the brake pedal being depressed but the vehicle failing to slow or stop, in one case leading to a crash into a parked vehicle and a desk.
- Some owners report the brake system intermittently losing power, making the pedal harder to press, with dealers unable to identify a cause after repeated visits.
- The auto-stop/start-stop feature reportedly shuts the entire vehicle off unexpectedly while braking, killing the infotainment screen and requiring a restart before the car can move again.
- Several owners report the vehicle braking on its own at various speeds while the ABS, power steering, traction control, and parking brake warning lights illuminate simultaneously.
- A recurring "shift to park" alert reportedly keeps dinging even after the vehicle is parked, sometimes requiring the shifter to be moved multiple times, with owners worried the vehicle could roll unattended.
- One owner reported a screeching brake noise noticed during a test drive before purchase, alongside non-functioning seat belts.
