I-€™ve been having problems with my 2017 forte5 Lx for the last few months. The brake calipers tend to lock up from time to time causing my pads to smoke like crazy. I-€™ve had my brakes serviced 6 times within the last year. Nothing seemed to help and I-€™ve barely used the vehicle out of concern for safety. Recently, I spoke with a tech at my local dealership. He informed me that my forte has rubber bushings on one of the caliper pins that swells and gets stuck. His solution was to replace the defective pin with another pin that doesn-€™t include the bushing. Since I followed his advice, my brakes haven-€™t locked up at all. The original intent for the bushing was to reduce caliper noise but it does not help, instead hindering performance. The reason for my complaint is that this can cause the brakes to overheat and start a fire, while decreasing the ability to brake.

When I brake, the braking lights don't turn on. I have checked the fuses and the lights bulbs and they are fine. Yet when I brake, the brake lights don't turn on.

Rear break lights don't work when lights are off, but the third brake light does. When lights are on the rear break lights are on, but don't get brighter when the brake is used. Only the third brake light works lights on or off.
