FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING Apr 14, 2023
I've had the brakes replaced because I thought they were an issue I was having with my ABS. But my car will randomly lock its brakes as I'm driving, no matter what speed. I'm scared to drive it. It also almost loses all power after breaking but then speeds up on its own making it almost impossible to slow down or brake.

THE SPEEDOMETER KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE STICKS AT A HIGHER SPEED AFTER DECELERATING OR STOPPING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHAT SPEED YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE WEATHER WARMS UP, SPRING/SUMMER/FALL. MAKING A HARD BRAKING STOP, LIKE AT AN INTERSECTION, WILL SOMETIMES CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO DROP BACK 5-10 MPH, AS WILL TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. MOST SPECIFICALLY, YESTERDAY, MAY 31, 2019, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WOULDN'T GO BACK DOWN AT ALL, AND MY SPEEDOMETER WAS "PEGGED" PAST THE TOP END OF 110MPH. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON AND CHRONIC ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

I HAVE HAD MY SUV SINCE 2011 HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL ABOUT FEB. 25,2019. I HAD MY BRAKES REPLACED FTONT AND BACK ALONG WITH THE ROTORS. A WEEK AFTER THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY COME UP TO A RED LIGHT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND WHEN I GOT TO 10 MPH IT STARTED TO PAULSATE AND WASN'T FOR SURE IF I WAS GOING TO STOP COMPLETELY. I FINALLY DID. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC HE CHECKED THE ABS TO SEE IF THE WHEELS WERE SPINNING AT THE SAME SPEED AND THEY WERE. WHEN I GO DOWN MY DRIVEWAY WHICK IS A HILL I'M NOT FOR SURE IF IT'S GOING TO FULLY STOP OR GO ON OUT IN THE ROAD, WE ARE ON A BLIND CURVE AND IT'S RATHER SCARING. ALSO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STABLILITY AND TRACK LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON, I JUST RESTART MY SUV AGAIN FOR IT TO GO OFF. IT'S BOTH OF THE LIGHTS ON THE TRACK AND STABLITITY. MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS FRILLY ON ONE SIDE AND GETTING THINNER.
