“3 times the Emergency Braking has shut off during braking. The Emergency braking system goes offline and displays a “Needs Service Indicator” It has been to the dealer for repair 3 times. Each time I was told that there is no current repair solution. They simply reset the system and send me off. Each time the reset works for a few miles but does not solve the problem. The indicator is on again for a 4th time! I have only owned this car for 9 months! This is a major braking problem and needs to be addressed as I feel the company cares little for this safety issue.”Owner report · Service Brakes,Forward Collision Avoidance · Jun 2025
