Anyone else have a panamera and notice odd braking sometimes. I was coming to a stop when all of a sudden it felt it started braking harder for me. I dont have adaptive cruise also. Its winter here and I possibly could have been on a little ice. it has happend twice now and thinking it might be the abs but I have never had a car act this way while braking. just thought I would see if anyone else has experinced something similar.

 

If you have PCCB's this is normal. They are more effective when warm

 

I have noticed this. You have to be very gentle when slowing down to a full stop or they will seize and stop abruptly. Often I will gently pump on the brake pedal as I am bringing it to a stop. I have the stock brakes on the 4S. (not ceramic brakes.)

 

This might be a stupid question; so please forigive me if you think so.

Is this your 1st Porsche?

 

don't have pccb. I had a 911 turbo but never experienced braking like this. so is this considered normal as rojda explains. If you brake hard they sieze and will come to an abrupt stop?

 

What was the outside temperature?

Do you have summer tires on a cold road?

Tires are a big deal.

 

Do you feel the ABS kick in? How does the pedal feel? Normal? Stiff? Slushy?

+1 On what Mike says. Tires do make a big deal.

 

abs kicks in, have the winter pirelli 240's.

 

I am not sure that is ABS. I had it happen tonight when I was slowing to a stop in second gear around 3 mph. "HOLD" flashed on the dash and the brakes locked jerking the car to a sudden stop. However, I was on a flat road at the time so I don't know why the HOLD engaged.

 

ok you are describing exact same thing as what happend to me, is this an issue with the auto start stop feature?
