About 4 weeks ago I began to notice my brakes grabbing and they have gotten worse. I read that there may be a glitch in the internal rod position sensor calibration within the Electronic Contact Module ( EBCM).I wasn’t told if they put car on computer to update / calibrate the module software. I read nothing in paper work I received that anything was done with my brakes. When I drove it home today the brakes grabbed. My biggest concern or scare is that I almost had a catastrophic head on collision. In addition to that I had 7 near misses. This happens when the car is hot or cold. My steering wheel will lock up and when steering wheel locks up, the car will swerve left or right and then right

Back up camera has been inoperable since mid August 2026. It is now the end of October 2026. There is an active recall on the backup camera, but nothing has been resolved. I have taken the car to the dealership and they have told me that there is no fix as of now and they don’t have a date as to when it will be repaired. Seems very unsafe to drive a car without a backup camera not to mention I’m paying for this feature every month and it doesn’t work. The radio also cuts in and out. I believe that this fix is taking an unreasonable amount of time. I have not been involved in an accident, however, I feel very unsafe driving the car this way.
