Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe the automatic emergency braking system engaging suddenly and aggressively at low-to-moderate speeds even with no obstacle nearby, causing hard stops.
  • Multiple reports describe the brake pedal being applied normally but the vehicle failing to stop or instead lunging forward and accelerating into an object.
  • Several drivers report the brakes locking up unexpectedly while merging or in light traffic, in one case leading to a loss of control and rollover.
  • Some owners say the car brakes so hard for phantom hazards that it nearly caused a rear-end collision from the vehicle behind.
  • One complaint links a brake-related stop to a dashboard electrical malfunction with multiple warning lights illuminating.
