“Was parking on an incline, I had come to a complete stop. When I applied the parking/emergency brake the cable disconnected from the parking/emergency brake pedal. There was an audible pop and the pedal fell towards the firewall. The pedal no longer retracts without manual assistance. When fully retracted, if not held in place, the weight of the pedal trips the brake's sensor and the brake alarm.”

“While driving my ABS/awd light continues to come on. I checked to see if there is a recall for the ABS and it shows but does not come up with my VIN. The light comes on and then there is a kick and dragging sound coming from the vehicle so I stop, put it in park and try to proceed again. I don't feel safe. I recently purchased the vehicle and nothing was mentioned about the ABS. This happens whether I am in my driveway or in the parking lot a work.”
