“The vsc trac light, the vsc off light and the brake lights all come on.... It caused my brakes to actually fail. I can turn the vehicle off and restart and this seems to reset it. This happens without warning and at various times. It happens quite frequently and especially during the warm summer months. It is extremely dangerous and would happily have it fixed if someone could tell what the exact fix is?”

NHTSA complaint #11318279, filed 2020-03, 110,000 miles“Power brakes quit working while driving. Approx 8 times, when coming to a stop or backing out of a parking space, the power brakes go out. Sometimes, codes appear on the dash and sometimes they don't. I usually have to restart the car to get it to work again. I have taken it in to the dealership twice and they can't find anything wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10379259, filed 2011-01, 109,000 miles“My car has been having this problem for several months and I decided to bring it in to get it checked and fixed. My signals for the brake light, trac off lights and vsc trace lights all go on at the same time periodically as I am driving anywhere on the freeway or the street, and disapear periodically. I thought I had fixed everything when they diagnosed 5 things on my vehicle that needed to be fixed. One of them was my mass air flow sensors that are making my lights go on and off. …”
NHTSA complaint #11023336, filed 2017-09, 197,000 miles“The vsc trac light, the vsc off light and the brake lights all come on....it caused my brakes to actually fail. I can turn the the vehicle off and restart and this seems to reset it. This happens without warning and at various times. This has happened more than once. I took vehicle to dealer, they replaced a $200 part and it did not help. It's happened again. I've read many many reports of this online. Why no recall. It's a miracle nobody has died. Brake failure???? Seriously.”
