What owners wrote
Stopped at an intersection for a red light, upon green light, accelerator tapped to enter intersection and forward collision braking system applied brakes. Nothing was in front of vehicle at time of forward collision braking system application. Tapped accelerator again and vehicle hesitated but slowly accelerated to normal speeds. The vehicle behind at the time barely stopped which would have rear-ended my vehicle and caused a chain reaction. Continued on to work, carefully applying accelerator after each stop.
2017 was in garage for 1 week. When tried to start vehicle low brake fluid light came on. Checked brake fluid level was below normal level. Checked under vehicle and all brakes, no sign of any leaks .
