Feb 22, 2019 · 50,000 milesService brakes THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES HAVE MALFUNCTIONED BUT THIS TIME WE WERE ABLE TO GET DASHCAM FOOTAGE. BRAKE PEDAL MAINTAINED PRESSURE LIKE NORMAL BUT DID NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE AT FIRST. IT FELT LIKE BRAKING ON ICE. PUMPING BRAKES EVENTUALLY BROUGHT THE BRAKES BACK ONLINE.

WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND SENT US AWAY WITH "NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS TIME". ANECDOTALLY, THE DEALERSHIP DID MENTION ANOTHER FAMILY THAT REPORTED THE SAME…
