I took my Maverick in to get the brakes fixed on Feb 15. I did noticed it was better but not a 100% better. When driving in the rain or slushy snow, it's noticeable more grabby than usual.

I hope Ford is looking into this issue on why it's more grabby in the rain or slushy snow.

I kind of wonder if it's because the brakes are more likely to stay wet, since the pads and rotors don't get used as much. I honestly didn't notice it as long as I stayed in normal mode.

Interesting theory. I have a hybrid Kia as well and the brakes feel consistent whether it’s dry or wet. You can’t even feel the transition from regen to friction braking in my Kia.

I cannot say I notice it being worse, if I stay out of ECO or slippery, something about those settings make it way worse. Never was an issue on my 08 Camry Hybrid, but it didn't have drive modes.

I'm at about 1600 miles on my 23. I got it about a month or so ago and until yesterday never had any braking issues, but yesterday while driving home I had to apply more pressure than usual to stop, and it was definitely more difficult to smoothly come to a complete stop, it was more jerky.

It was lightly raining and probably mid-40s...

What I find weird is that I've had similar days with rain/temperature and haven't experienced this...so.... ?
