Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Multiple dashboard warnings (brake system, VSA, collision mitigation, road departure, adaptive cruise) appear together and the brakes stop responding to pedal pressure.
  • Drivers report needing to pump the brake pedal, use the parking brake, or shift to neutral to bring the car to a stop after a sudden loss of braking.
  • Some owners describe the vehicle self-braking or slamming on the brakes unexpectedly, which they attribute to the regenerative braking or collision mitigation system.
  • The failure sometimes clears after turning the vehicle off and restarting it, only to recur later while driving.
  • One complaint describes the entire dashboard display going blank, disabling the reverse camera and other functions along with brake warnings.
