“Front brake calipers sticking causing premature wear out of pads and driver side rotor at ~11900 miles. After first repair, ~900 miles and three weeks later, while driving down a snow covered city hill ABS was engaged for a short period of time and then dash displayed a brake failure warning. After the message the front brakes locked up completely, causing loss of control of the vehicle and induced a slide of over 1000ft down the hill. Once the vehicle finally came to a stop, a loud sound was coming from the under carriage. Powering down the vehicle did not stop the sound. …”
