Typical brake symptoms owners report

Owners describe a delay in brake response at very low speeds, under about 10 mph, where the pedal seems to have no effect until pressed much harder.
Several report the vehicle then makes a sudden, hard, jerky stop or clunk after the initial unresponsive period, sometimes with a loud bang from the front wheels or engine bay.
Some describe inconsistent pedal feel, where light pressure sometimes causes hard braking and other times more pressure is needed to slow down at all.
One owner reported a void or dead zone in pedal travel along with the vehicle pulling to the right when the brakes grabbed.
One report described a full brake failure while reversing during a low-speed maneuver, resulting in a crash into a boulder after a pre-crash alert had illuminated.
Some owners note the issue happens most often in stop-and-go traffic or while creeping forward to park.
