What owners say

Filed Jun 30, 2026 · Brakes · MD

The vehicle's braking system intermittently self-activates, engaging the brakes with no obstruction, pedestrian, or object present in the vehicle's path and no driver input. This creates an unpredictable, unprovoked braking event while driving, which is a direct safety hazard to the driver and to other vehicles on the road that may not anticipate sudden deceleration. A distinct pattern has been observed: after the brake pedal is touched, the vehicle behaves as though it believes it is on an incline, repeatedly reapplying the brakes on its own in a pulsing or repeated manner, even on flat, level ground with no incline present. This repeated self-application occurs without further driver input. The dealership has attempted repairs on multiple occasions. On the first visit, the brake booster was replaced. This did not resolve the issue, and additionally caused the brake lights to remain illuminated overnight, draining the vehicle battery. On a second visit, a brake bracket was replaced; the self-braking defect recurred within minutes of leaving the dealership. On a third visit, the vehicle was retained by the dealership for approximately three weeks, during which a brake switch was replaced; the defect recurred after approximately one day of normal driving. The problem has been reproduced and acknowledged by the dealership's service department on multiple occasions, as evidenced by the repeated repair attempts targeting the braking system (brake booster, brake bracket, brake switch). Despite three separate repair attempts across different brake-related components, the dealership has been unable to identify or correct the root cause. Dealership service management stated they can only make repair recommendations and cannot guarantee that any given repair will resolve the issue, and that their process involves replacing parts until the defect happens to stop occurring. The dashboard brake warning light is on, and an ABS warning light also illuminates intermittently.
