PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR PATCHY ROAD THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE CONTROL. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE CALIPERS HAVE LET GO AND THE SENSATION OF A CAR LUNGING FORWARD WITH NO DRIVER CONTROL.

When actively pressing the brake pedal, a “squaking” or “fart” noise can be heard. Whether braking with speed, or at a standstill. This is causing a potential danger to the driver, and others due to potential compromised braking. Ongoing issue. No warning lights on dash. No codes. Not covered under Brake Booster/Pump Customer satisfaction program issued. I know this is a common issue and many have submitted reports about braking issues.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
