(when I brake gently - as you do when you have others in the car)so weight plays a factor !!! Edited 04/05/09 01:21 PM by Tocchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUFGSR Member 514 Member For: 19y 2m 16d Posted 05/05/09 07:30 AM Share Posted 05/05/09 07:30 AM Could it be software related? As in the abs or dsc doing something it shoudn't. Mine has never done any of these things you guys speak of. The only issue I've had is brake sqeel which I have since rectified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdj80 Member 76 Member For: 17y 2m 30d Posted 05/05/09 08:02 AM Share Posted 05/05/09 08:02 AM okay. Those with the problem...number of kilometers, build date, vehicle type (sedan or ute), brake combo (ie 6/4; 6/1 etc), laden or unladen any other factors you can thing of when it happens or not ie cornering etc.If we can record a database of those with and without the problem we may be able to work it out for ourselves.

aiboart Member 665 Member For: 19y 3m 12d Posted 05/05/09 10:08 AM Share Posted 05/05/09 10:08 AM Zap, sorry to hear of your problems.Reason would suggest that the dealership would be on the phone twice a day to resolve the issue.History suggests that you are in for a world of obfuscation, inaction, and deceit from the dealership with respect to warranty repairs.You know the drill. I am surprised you went for it again.Sure the cars are great, brilliant, but the dealship warranty response makes owning the brand a non viable proposition. Three weeks ago my lease expired and I vacillated about leasing a new F6 with the 6/4 Brembo combo. On the one hand there was the brilliance of the design and the fact that I get a new car - at no additional cost. On the other hand was the past history of the so called warranty response of the dealership, and the unresolved major problem that I had to endure every time I drove the car. You know the nonsense too well. Based on previous dealership warranty responses I decided against the F6 6/4. Clearly from your experience I had a close call.Good luck.Regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up being a brake pedal switch fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
