Hydraulic control unit can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration. However dealer and manufacturer won't honor this recall.
While driving 55 MPH, the driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. This caused the driver to loose braking power. The driver pumped the brake pedal four times in order to stop. Then the driver pulled over. Smoke was coming from the front driver side wheel. The driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the hub cap melted to the rim. The brake controller modular needed replacing due to the sensor inside. The brake pads, rotor, and brake caliber was also replaced. Please fill in additional information.
