The Service Brakes problem

The emergency brake occasionally comes on for no apparent reason. It has happened multiple times before but, never while driving until today. The button appeared to be stuck when I went to disengage it as well which made no sense. There was nothing in the way for it to get stuck.   Read details...

Brake pads not replaced while at dealership for non-uniform brake rotors. I believe not replacing the brake pads at the time of resurfacing the brake rotors will result in the brake rotors becoming non-uniform again.   Read details...

Vehicle has 6700 miles. Vehicle has been in to dealer 2x already for brake issues. Front brakes started making vibration, grinding and vibration issues. Issue exacerbated while going downhill or lightly being on the brakes. They've replaced brake rotors, pads and calipers the first time.   Read details...
