Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Owners report sudden, unprompted activation of the automatic emergency braking system while driving at highway speed with no obstacle ahead, sometimes forcing a swerve to avoid being rear-ended.
  • Some drivers describe brief but abrupt braking events at 60-70 mph that caused the car to swerve or nearly spin out.
  • Several complaints describe the brake pedal sinking to the floor with reduced or no stopping power, including one case just over 1,700 miles.
  • One owner reported total loss of both brake and transmission function while exiting a highway.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking reportedly failed to engage when a parked vehicle rolled backward after being shifted into park.
  • A few owners describe the vehicle accelerating instead of stopping when the brake pedal was applied, leading to low-speed collisions.
