Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe sudden hard or unexpected braking while driving at highway speeds with no warning lights, sometimes with cruise control engaged when passing another vehicle.
  • Some report the brake pedal going soft or nearly to the floor, with a loss of stopping power, including one case where brakes reportedly failed almost completely at highway speed.
  • Master cylinder and brake booster failures are described, with the pedal becoming stiff or braking effectiveness reduced, in one case leading to a curb strike.
  • Rear brake pads and rotors wearing prematurely or grinding, with grooved rotors reported at mileage well under typical service intervals.
