| Description of the problem | This problem started small .. Became more frequent and increasingly dangerous. First incident problem occurred while driving on the highway. Brake warning light, abs warning and vehicle stability warning appeared in the drivers message center. In each instance breaking was not the cause of the warning displays. The displays were intermittent and have now become a permanent fixture. Often adding intermittent moaning noises from the front left wheel while brake is deployed and vehicle is stopped. When braking at times, there was no response, slow response or additional pressure is required to begin to slow the vehicle. Speeds are all varied. City driving and freeway speed. In each condition, warnings or braking problems would occur. Thus far no failure to the system has been diagnosed.. When urgent braking is required, there is no abs response. Front left and right rear are most effected. Each producing abnormal amounts of brake dust. Brake pads are replaced frequently due to the pads constantly being deployed now. Ruining fuel efficiency. Requiring too. Frequent repairs for normal usage. I implore the nhtsa to inquire on these safety mechanical defects. |
