Was involved in an accident unable to stop in time. Uninow if this is related to the brake potential recall but I have noticed potential stoping distance changes when using the vehicle for long periods I assume it is just from use.
NHTSA ODI report, 2018-11-25
After switching to passing lane and seeing traffic in lane at standstill I swiftly jammed on brake pedal. Brakes failed to provide adequate stopping ability as though they were coated with grease.
