- Brakes emit an extremely loud noise while decelerating, a problem the dealer could not diagnose.
- Vehicle self-decelerates when the brake pedal is pressed to disengage cruise control, traced to a faulty brake pedal switch.
- Anti-lock brake and traction control lights illuminate along with a 'service anti-lock brakes' message, accompanied by an abnormal sound from a front wheel and a seized wheel.
- Factory-installed trailer brake controller provides minimal braking power to a towed trailer even at the highest gain setting.
