Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Some owners describe the brakes failing to respond when pressure is applied at low speed, resulting in collisions with vehicles or fixed objects.
  • Several reports describe sudden loss of stopping power at intersections or parking lots, with the vehicle continuing to move despite the driver pressing the brake pedal firmly.
  • Owners report the anti-lock brake system (ABS) activating unexpectedly during turns, causing the vehicle to slide before regaining control was possible.
  • One report links a brake failure at an intersection to warning lights (battery and oil) illuminating just before the incident, with a diagnostic scan showing a low-voltage condition tied to an ABS code.
  • Owners describe a clicking noise from the rear of the vehicle along with steering wheel shake during braking at highway speed, which a dealer attributed to defective rotors.
