acdii Report post Posted February 27, 2015 I have not been driving the FFH for a few weeks, my wife has and she is not as sensitive to it as I am so this is something she has not noticed or she would have mentioned it. Slowing down from 35 or so and making a right hand turn, when on regen, the circling thing going, partway through the turn, the car feels as though it is slipping on ice, the regen stops for a brief moment. If it happened once I would have blamed the road, but it happened every time, and I have done a lot of right hand turns like this today(Stupid address was 475, but neither the website, nor the email had the W in it, so Nav and Google maps took me to the other side of town, grrr). To me it was quite noticeable, and repeatable, but there are very few locations around here where I can replicate the problem. Once I find a few, I will take it back to the dealer and have one of them ride with me to see if they can feel it when it happens so they have something to go by, but since it is out of warranty, I am pretty much in the hole for $200 to get it repaired, since that is the deductible I went with. Which means I will have to wait until I am working again to have it looked at. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolder Report post Posted February 27, 2015 sounds like a stability-traction issue. Do you have any ice or slush up around the wheels where it might affect the wheel speed sensors? I would think you would get a warning alert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know the drill, PM me your VIN, mileage, best daytime phone, full name, and dealer name/location. :D Meagan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted March 18, 2015 Well over the past couple days, in warm weather, dry roads, I can confirm there is definitely an issue with the regen brakes. My wife felt it in the passenger seat and then it dawned on her that she has felt it do that to her too, but dismissed it as tire slippage. Pretty sure it is tied into the steering position sensor. Have an appointment on Friday to have it checked. The TCH did this to us all the time when coming to a stop, which was one of the driving forces to getting rid of it, that and the poor material quality, but I am not getting rid of this car at all, I know this one can be repaired.
