- Sudden wheel lock-up while driving, in some cases limited to a single front or rear wheel.
- ABS module or ABS-related warning triggers unexpected braking, with owners reporting fault codes tied to the ABS/brake booster.
- Brake pedal is depressed and the vehicle lunges forward briefly before slowing, rather than braking smoothly.
