Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The car was in cruise control going 73mph on the freeway. I was passing a semi on the left hand side. When I was parallel to the semi, the car brakes hard and a big "BRAKE" light came on the cluster. There were no cars in front of me and luckily no one behind me. If there was a car behind me there would have been a collision. It was a clear day and again the road was clear. It took me from 70 to about 40 mph until I hit the accelerator to get back to speed. The CMBS is faulty and I will take it in to a dealer asap.
The brake system, it is in the repair shop. I could not stop the car, had I been on the highway I hate to think what could have happened to me or others. No, it has not been reproduced. It is in the repair shop. No, it is in the repair shop. No, there was no warning lights or messages or problems prior to this. I was pulling into a parking space at work in the parking garage and as I pushed down on the brake pedal the brake did not stop the car it made it accelerate at a very high rate, and I ran into the concrete wall
When car has been stopped, in traffic or parking lot, the parking/emergency brake has engaged automatically (NOT engaged manually or intentionally by driver) and will not disengage automatically when accelerator is pressed to go forward. It is difficult to disengage the brake when this occurs. This has happened on 3 occasions. The safety risk for crash includes being hit from behind if brake engages unintentionally in traffic or on highway, or potentially sudden unintentional stopping while driving at moderate or high speeds. The issue was reported to dealer after twice occurring and full DTC check performed. Dealer says all diagnostics normal and could not identify any problems with parking/emergency brake or Collision Mitigation Braking System. The issue has occurred one time since the dealer inspection. The red light on the emergency break switch (console) comes on when this occurs, but no prior warning lamps or messages.
