I've had my 2013 SV for 5 months and 8000 miles now. It has been nothing short of amazing.
But I have been having a problem with the brakes lately. It seems to have gotten much worse in the last month. When I come to a stop, it is almost impossible to ease to a final stop without the brakes grabbing suddenly. If you want to creep forward, you better be ready for a bucking bronco!
It only seems to happen with REGEN braking. By that I mean it doesnt happen until I get down to 97% charge, which I am assuming is the point the car will accept current from the REGEN brakes and they become active. So, essecially every stop takes extreme car so you dont give yourself whiplash.
I called the service dept and they said that is the way they are. I haven't taken it in yet since I hate to part with it for any length of time. The thought of driving the ICE in the garage does not appeal to me. The salesman I bought the car from also says that the way they are, but come on.
I am awaiting a call from Nissan who is investigating to see if anything can be done.
Has anyone else had this problem and was it fixed? I am wondering if they can turn down or adjust the "gain" on the brakes....
