• Brakes failed. Brake pedal went to floor unable to stop. First the dealership said it was the ABS sensor failed. after they replaced the abs sensor they then determined the master brake cylinder piston ruptured causing the fault in the ABS . The repair has been made and brakes a working fine now
• I was just turning right from a stoplight into a store parking lot when I lost power steering & my brakes were ‘difficult’ to push down. I barely got it out of the way of traffic and I turned the car off, got out, opened and closed my door, and got back in and it started back up and drove to the par

Mileage figures are self-reported by owners in NHTSA complaint filings. Peak bucket = the mileage range with the most complaints for that component; it reflects when owners noticed and reported problems, not necessarily when the fault first occurred. This vehicle is under 5 years old, so most of the fleet hasn't accumulated high mileage yet — low-mileage peaks reflect fleet age, not necessarily premature failure.
