    Grabby Brakes?

    It seemed to make mine completely normal. But anyone who hasn't tried switching off traction control for a few miles of city driving should do so and report back- it helped a lot with my car before the software upgrade.

    Grabby Brakes?

    I don't know if everyone is getting notice of Nissan's free software upgrade, but I did mine last week and the brakes feel pretty much normal now. The letter said nothing about the upgrade fixing this issue, but maybe they slipped in a tweak to the traction control routine. Prior to this I was...

    Brakes "mutate" to become grabby in stop & go traffic?

    Have you tried turning off the traction control temporarily to see if the issue goes away like it did for me? I've seen a slight return of the issue after about 500 miles, but nothing like before.

    Small Headrests we can order them

    I removed the passenger side one after almost getting smashed from the side while backing out of a space. Hopefully someone will come up with a headrest that has a net-like material or some other way to let us see out the back. The camera is great, but it doesn't catch everything.

The problem has something to do with the traction control and anti-lock brake system. To fix it do the...

    Brakes "mutate" to become grabby in stop & go traffic?

    It might not matter, but I did my "fix" while in ECO mode. Also, I pushed that brake pedal with pretty good force (imagine a hard emergency stop) applied slowly for about 30-40 seconds without letting up. Then I drove around the block a couple times with stability control still off. Then I...

    Brakes "mutate" to become grabby in stop & go traffic?

    Sorry my mistake, it's the traction control button on the left. It may not be related, but that's how I fixed the problem for me. If it is part of the problem perhaps it has something to do with anti lock brake control not being set right for almost zero speed. Also, since doing this I don't...

    Brakes "mutate" to become grabby in stop & go traffic?

    Greetings, I've had the same issue since the beginning and have lived with it for just under 6000 miles. I finally decided to look on this forum to see if anyone else had the same issue (being unable to smoothly come to a stop when in stop and go traffic; grabbiness). The funny thing is that...
