Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Multiple warning lights — ABS, brake, steering, traction control, and forward collision warning — illuminate together and stay on, often traced to a faulty VSA modulator or ABS module.
  • Owners report the parking brake failing to hold, letting the car roll away after being parked and engaged.
  • Rear brake pads and calipers wear unevenly or stick, with one owner describing a frozen left rear caliper causing uneven pad wear.
  • Some owners report the brake and stability warning lights appearing after driving in icy or wet conditions, tied to ABS speed sensor or knuckle assembly problems.
