On 09/22/2022, the power assist for the brakes suddenly and without warning failed during slow forward and reverse maneuvering in a parking lot, resulting in an increase in brake pedal pressure and travel to slow and stop the vehicle. Contact with a proximate vehicle was narrowly avoided. A service brakes message appeared in the central information panel between the tachometer and speedometer. Turning off the ignition and then turning the ignition switch back to start the vehicle extinguished the service brake message, and power assist for the brakes returned to nominal function. This occurrence is a safety of driving concern because of its sudden onset without warning and the need to immediately compensate with the application of significantly increased brake pedal pressure to slow and stop the vehicle. A corresponding increase in braking distance was not measured but was distinctly noticed.

Car Key FOB. While driving down the highway my driver side door lock opened. I pushed the button down and continued to drive. Within a few minutes the button popped open again, again I pushed it down. This continued off and on until I got to my destination. I Googled my problem and finally found an answer that fit my issue and corrected the problem. Apparently the FOB button with certain FOB's sticks and makes intermittent contact with the open car door button. Removing the FOB battery solves this issue. Risk, car door can unlock at any moment resulting in a safety problem. Documented by Google searches and reports, and my own experience but my issue has not been inspected by anyone. I'm sure if I replace the battery in my FOB the issue will continue. No warning lights, just the sound of the door unlocking while driving or stationary.
