Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Rear brake calipers stick, causing a rear wheel to drag or resist turning, sometimes returning after a dealer repair on the opposite side.
- ABS and other warning lights illuminate, and in one case the recall repair for campaign 23V651000 was performed but the failure persisted.
- Brake pedal becomes hard to depress after a loud bang during moderate braking on rough roads.
- Brake warning indicator flashes when the vehicle is shifted into drive, then goes off in park or reverse, unrelated to the parking brake.
- Brake pressure drops when hitting bumps, requiring the pedal to be reapplied to regain pressure.
- A parked vehicle caught fire, later ruled a total loss, with fire department response.
