Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- ABS, traction control, and brake warning lights turn on together, often linked to an accumulator pressure leak error code.
- Brake pedal feels harder to press or sinks toward the floor, with reduced stopping power at highway speed.
- Owners describe the brake booster pump assembly failing over time, which also disables the pre-collision system and adaptive cruise warnings, showing a "CHECK PCS SYSTEM" message.
- A hissing or repeated pumping noise comes from the brake system when the pedal is pressed.
- Some owners note the car runs silently on battery power while backing up, which they say makes it hard for pedestrians in parking lots to notice the vehicle.
