Hello,

If the brake rotors are worn below the minimum thickness specification, they can brake while the brake gets applied.

This can be fixed by changing the brake rotors and pads. Which can be done fairly easily on this vehicle.

Here is a helpful article:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
