Most common problems:

Brake pedal feel

Users often report a spongy or inconsistent brake pedal feel, which can affect driver confidence and braking performance.

Brake noise

Some owners experience unusual noises from the braking system, such as squeaks or grinding, which may indicate wear or alignment issues.

Brake pad wear

Accelerated wear of brake pads is sometimes reported, potentially due to the regenerative braking system not being as aggressive in some driving conditions.

Regenerative braking inconsistency

Issues with the regenerative braking system not engaging or disengaging smoothly, leading to unpredictable braking behavior.

Software glitches

Since the braking system relies heavily on software, updates or bugs can sometimes cause temporary problems with the Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system.

Sensor malfunction

Faulty sensors can lead to the DBS system not working correctly, which may result in a delayed or insufficient braking response.
