Driving my 2017 CRV ex home from work. Stopped at red light, foot on brake pedal. When the traffic signal turned green, I took my foot off the brake pedal, and a message came up on the dashboard screen "brake system failure". the engine was still running. I turned onto a side street and tried to depress the brake pedal, but it was frozen and the vehicle would not stop. I pulled into a parking lot and put the vehicle in 'park', and called the dealership where I leased the vehicle. The sales rep suggested I turn off the engine and restart it. I did that and all systems seemed to function properly. I later took my CRV back to the dealer, and they did a diagnostic check but found no definitive problem. The technician could only say the computer indicated something had occurred but could say what, or why, or whether it might occur again. The service advisor said they could not find a problem, and everything seemed ok, and "have a nice day!" now I am anxious when I drive wondering if, or when, the brake system might fail again. Is it just my CRV, or has this issue been reported by anyone else? this issue, should it occur again while driving in traffic, could result in a serious crash situation.
