So I'm on my second SL. Totaled my first Grey SL plowing into the back of an SUV the same day I had the brakes worked on a second time (first time, Dealer cited low fluid, second time, cited low fluid due to loose connection in the "junction box" or whatever it was called). I don't believe that contributed to the accident, but things happen so fast, I guess I'll never know now that it's gone to the charging station in the sky. Anyway, my replacement white SL has 370 mile on it. I had just connected from charger, gotten in and powered up. The whole damn instrument panel lit up and car wouldn't go anywhere. Did a couple of power cycles and it came on but with brake light illuminated. I put it in reverse and it went but there was no assisted braking at all and the brake power was ludicrously weak. I stopped it, power cycled and everything came up gravy. I drove it around at lunch and everything was fine. Anyone experience this? Did I try to throw it in reverse too soon in the boot process or should I take it to the dealership. I love my Leaf more than any other car I've owned but brake problems scare the crap out of me. Potential and intermittent problems even more so :\.
