Cars: 2015

As Wally said, the culprit may just be low fluid level in the reservoir. This can be easily checked by just opening the hood. The reservoir will have a line on it and if the fluid level is around that line, it may simply be the fluid sloshing around while the car is in motion. A bottle of Brake Fluid will be like $5 and will easily top off the reservoir if it's low.

Check the electrical back to the taillights. That caused all sorts of issues for me.

Check fluid level

Had my partner come over and take a look. It was the brake fluid.

Did they say if they were concerned with a possible leak? My wife had her brakes replaced, and asked about the brake fluid. They replied that it was a closed system, and there shouldn't be any fluid loss nor degradation. That surprised me, and I plan to look into it sometime here.

After having to add fluid 3 times in the past month, my partner and I are now looking for a slow leak.

You shouldn't have to add break fluid once. So yeah, something is leaking.

I had a brake piston seal (something to do with the piston on the caliper) blow at 70 mph. I mention this because you should check the pistons too.

That's not a fun feeling when your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor with no resistance.

I will avoid buying an Interstate battery any time soon. When I bought my CRV in August 2023, it came with said battery. The battery had a manufacturing date of February 2023, and it completely died on Thursday. The battery had a 24 month warranty, and they nailed it.
