Anti-lock brakes have failed two times in panic stops, brakes will release on rough roads, brakes have failed in reverse, dealer has replaced master cylinder but three failures have occured since. Brakes are getting worse with pedal going to floor in panic stops and releasing. Had failure in mountains this summer in reverse (pedal going to floor and brakes releasing). There is something very wrong with the design of these brakes!
