    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    i can't even address the number of ways you're just so, so, so wrong. Do you choose to read every third word - or just the first sentence of a paragraph and make up the rest of the story? Or are you just a poorly programmed spambot tryign to start flame wars on the internet. I've taken it in...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    someone said it in another post this week well - in a real circumstance when this happens - you're caught off guard and it's tough to remember to do things (such as this). Even driving around in a situation to replicate this - my brain, even when expecting it to happen is like IT'S HAPPENING...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    great question. I THINK i tried this. but my overall drive mode is regen OFF (although for the last 6 months i turn it on when backing out of the driveway). i'm 80% sure on my days of doing U-turns through puddles i enabled that and it didn't do anything - but next downpour day i'll try it...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    I'm not denying that. But to me - it's clear that a) the regen isn't kicking on at all, and B) - the car stopped a half a car length into the road, when i was only going 6-7 mph. one thing i could never get the video to show, whether i hold it or someone else did - is that pushing the brakes...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    I'm not going to argue with you. What's great about our country and the internet is you're allowed to be wrong, and state your beliefs. What's horrible about the internet is people can state things that are absolutely wrong in ways that sound believable. obviously i'm either making this up or...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    I uploaded this video to another thread on this site and thought i'd add it here i went back and watched some videos - here's a truncated one - showing me stopping halfway into a road when going 6-7 miles an hour. if the car stops 10 feet long at 6-7 miles an hour, imagine what it'd do going 30...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    Why yes i did - thus the reason for this entire thread. I didn't realize the NHTSA complaints were published and searchable, and apparently someone on this forum found the complaint i made last week to NHTSA... i had to truncate to 2000 characters (down from almost 4000 of my first draft) so it...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    That is the feeling i got too - but it's second hand (third hand?) by that point - From Porsche's tester/technical guy to the Porsche NA contact to the service advisor to me. I can't state with certainty that Porsche DID recreate it - but i can tell you how the service advisor reacted when...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    Great question. i DID notice a big difference for several months after the new large software upgrade. But then I realized it was several very dry months. Then the heavens opened up and Noah asked me for a test drive, and it happened again, to the same degree as before. That was the final...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    I answer these questions in my other posts. Also won't give the name of my dealer (although, there are several ways to see where i live....) because they've been great in attempting to help me down and resolve this issue. I don't want anything rolling downhill to them, I feel they've done...

    Taycan Brakes fail in wet conditions - NHTSA complaint March 2, 2023

    Mike - LOVE your other post above spelling out how you've experienced this. Well articulated, thank you I do have PSCB - BUT it's not a failure from lack of friction on the brakes. It's a failure of the brake pedal to get the mechanical brakes to engage. No one material will work to slow a...

    ************************************** DETAILS ON THE ORIGINAL POST ************************************** For many of you - Glad you're not having Taycan braking issues. Go on to the next post. Because YOU are not having the issues, doesn't mean some people aren't - it also doesn't mean that...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    Submitted to the NHTSA - i'll let ya'll know how it progresses. Very little info to submit (per their site)- difficult to summarize this in 2000 characters (first take was 4700) and no way to upload videos, only images. Hopefully that's just the doorkeeper and next round we can share more...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    no wreck yet - but i'm compiling and taking the info to the NHTSA. Porsche NA was looking into this and deemed it working as designed. Apologies to you guys who might get your cars recalled. I know i should have threatened this before they went Public.... Last weekend was the first...

    periodic "spongy" brakes. that don't stop. if i die please have my family sue Porsche

    unfortunately, not. I just had the major software update (i live a bit away from the dealer, so i don't go in for every minor update)- the dealer was hoping it would fix it. i've NOT DRIVEN it during this snow and ice and rain - been using my wife's Audi SUV - i've only had it about 3 weeks...

    Mercedes locks faster acceleration behind a yearly $1,200 subscription - The Verge

    I hope tuners and hackers can hack the hell out of these features - and turn them on for people for a one time $250 fee, or something like that if you have heated seats - that are disabled - there's a few ways to enable them 1) pay the silly monthly fee (can you pick what months you want them...
