Service Brakes · reported Sep 21, 2026
While I was driving, I was pressing my brakes and the vehicle would not stop at a stop sign. Then with the brakes pressed all the way down, it was a very elongated stop so this rolled me through the stop sign. Thankfully no cars were coming. It felt as if I was trying to stop on ice. Supposedly this was fixed with an OTA update when the initial recall came out last year.
