  • Owners report sudden loss of braking after the pedal became hard to press and then dropped to the floor, sometimes with unintended acceleration.
  • Forward collision warning has automatically applied hard braking on clear roads with no obstacles present.
  • The electronic parking brake has engaged on its own while driving or right after starting the vehicle, in one case causing damage to calipers, rotors, and pads.
  • Hazard lights flash when the brake pedal is pressed, an issue owners say is not covered by any recall on their vehicle.
