2 400 complaints composed of more than 1,500 complaints allege problems braking, including 139 cases of phantom braking and 383 cases of phantom stops.

Handelsblatt says there were more than 1,000 crashes linked to brake problems and more than 3,000 entries where customers reported safety concerns with the driver assists.
