What owners wrote
My wife was traveliing southbound on il tollway I94 when she proceded to brake for a toll plaza. She applied her brakes and had no response. She began attempting to brake about 500 feet from the plaza. The anti-lock brakes never responded and to her recollection the brakes never went on. She hit a cement barrior while trying to find a clear lane to pass through. This problem has been intermittant throughout the ownership of the car. When I have the vehicle looked at, no problems are found.
When braking heard a grinding noise. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that rear pistons were stuck and engaged the rear brakes. Rear calipers and rotors were replaced. It was not known how long the vehicle was in this condition because there was no warning of this problem besides the noise.
