| Description of the problem | Like many others, when applying brakes, harsh grinding noise and inability to brake easily. The problem goes away when car re-started. Has happened about 25 times in 3 years. Seems to be computer issue but never happens when at service center. When my wife drove the car , the first time it happened shook her quite a bit as she was in high traffic area going about 40 mph. It is unsafe to turn the engine off and on while driving but this is only way to get brakes operating. |
