| Description of the problem | "check brake system" warning appeared on dash display. No problem found with brakes. Turning off the ignition for a time seems to return things to normal until the next episode which has happened many times . Two dealerships have not found the problem. Outside ambient temperature seems to play a part since no problem in winter. This is not an isolated issue since a search of the internet confirms other owners have the problem. I have become inclined to ignore the warning but worry that there may be one time when there is a true problem that if ignored may jeopardize the safety of my vehicle and passengers. *js |
