Typical brake symptoms owners report

Owners report the brake pedal failing to slow or stop the vehicle, in some cases leading to collisions.
Front and rear brake pads and rotors wear out or need replacement at unusually low mileage, sometimes followed by repeat squeaking after new pads are installed.
Persistent squeaking or squealing occurs when the brakes are cold, often noticed when backing out of a garage or on first use of the day.
The automatic emergency braking system triggers false 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction' warnings and unexpected short stops, especially while turning or going over bumps.
The ABS warning light cycles on and off intermittently without a clear cause.
A few owners describe brake failure occurring alongside other electrical or acceleration problems, such as unintended acceleration or the car turning off and restarting on its own.
