Typical brake symptoms owners report

Owners describe the brakes grabbing or jerking the vehicle to an abrupt stop when slowing below about 5-10 mph, especially in stop-and-go traffic or parking lots.
Several report the grabbing is worse on wet roads or after rain, causing unpredictable, jumpy stops.
Some say the harsh grab happens most often during the first minutes of driving on cold mornings while the hybrid system is running in a certain mode.
A few describe the brake pedal feeling unresponsive or delayed before suddenly engaging hard, causing passengers to lunge forward.
One owner reported a more severe event where dashboard warning lights came on and the brakes and accelerator seemed to stop responding normally before the vehicle slowed on its own.
Owners note dealer visits and module updates that did not fully resolve the grabby brake behavior.
