highSERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Filed: Jan 2026

During wet weather, moisture can enter your brake system, causing your front brakes to feel partially seized and produce a squeezing sound when backing up — especially after using the parking brake overnight. The noise typically goes away after several normal brake applications. Additionally, your forward collision warning system only alerts you with beeps and dashboard lights, but doesn't automatically apply the brakes to help slow or stop your car. Addressing this may involve inspecting and servicing the brake system for moisture intrusion and checking the forward collision avoidance system's brake application function.

NHTSA #: 11712902
