Reports naming service brakes, the antilock braking system, brake hoses, master cylinders or the parking brake.
From owner reports, verbatim
THE FRONT BRAKE EXHIBITS A VERY LONG FIRST PULL TO ENGAGE, SUBSEQUENT PULLS ARE SHORT BRIEFLY, THEN THE LONG PULL RETURNS AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS CAUSES THE FRONT BRAKE TO ENGAGE AT GREATLY VARYING LEVELS OF LEVER PULL AND EFFORT DURING A TYPICAL RIDE. THE BRAKE IS ALSO VERY SPONGY AND VAGUE. THE DEALER HAS MADE 5 ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHICH INCLUDES SEVERAL BRAKE BLEEDS, REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE CHANGE TO DIFFERENT TYPE OF BRAKE FLUID, ALL TO NO AVAIL.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
