Default Re: RXV Auto-Brake Problem III

Our dealer happened to come by today, and he was only able to come up with one new solenoid.

As to taking pictures, he said there is no way to tell the defective ones from the replacement ones. He knew ours needed replacing because it was still hard wired, and we/they knew it had a defective solenoid (at some point they stopped using the defective ones).

I meant to say before that last week he said the 2010 models will not have some of the autobrake problems the 2008s and 2009s have had associated with them, and he mentioned the groaning noise from the autobrake when you accelerate (and it releases).

I mentioned heat before as a combination of that generated by climate and hills (hot and hilly v. hot and flat) . . . hills causing frequent application of the autobrake. The thing about the autobrake is that even if you are accelerating downhill, it will be engaged to varying degrees, to prevent runaway.
