Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • While parking at low speed with the brake pedal pressed, the vehicle fails to slow or stop and instead lurches forward into a wall, curb, or parked car.
  • Drivers report the brake pedal feels firm and engaged, sometimes with brake lights confirmed on, yet the car continues to accelerate on its own.
  • Some owners describe the same unintended-acceleration event happening more than once in the same vehicle.
  • One complaint describes a grinding noise from the brakes right before the vehicle launched forward instead of stopping.
  • A separate report describes automatic braking activating but the brake lights not illuminating until the vehicle had already stopped, leading to a rear-end collision.
  • One owner reported the vehicle rolling forward on a slope after shutting off the engine while still in Drive, instead of holding its position.
