Unfortunately my (limited) experience with adaptive cruise in stop and go traffic has been partly negative: if you don't come to a full stop in bumper to bumper traffic, it's great; but if you come to a stop--then have to wait some seconds before inching forward again--each of those incremental sessions ends with a really jerky stop. You have to apply a tiny bit of pressure on the pedal to move you some feet forward when you're in bumper to bumper traffic, and then the ACC does a really jerky stop even if you gently gently release the pedal. Pressing ACC "resume" won't help much in bumper-to-bumper situations since it has maxed out the proximity to the car in front of you, and it still does a somewhat-jerky brake if you decide to leave like a full car length between you and the other car. I wonder if anyone else has had a better experience and maybe I'm doing it wrong.Traffic is where it is the worst. Or maybe a busy 4 way stop where you're only going 1-10 miles an hour and regularly stopping.
Yes your not alone mine does the Same thing so your not alone, it's not all the time so a little tricky to get used to, the brakes definitely have a mind of their ownI'm no stranger to hybrid brakes; the transition between regen to actual brakes and what that feels like. I've driven hybrids for years. However, the brakes on my hybrid maverick seem odd. In most situations I chalk it up to the fact that every car is a little different and that's fine. But in one particular situation I feel like the brakes are dangerous.
If I'm in stop/go traffic or at a stop light and barely have my foot on the brake, it's enough to keep the car stopped. When I take my foot off the brake, (don't apply any gas pedal) and I go to quickly reapply the brake it's like nothing engages for the first 20%-30% of the break push...way past where I just had my foot when the truck was stopped. The brakes eventually engage but they go from 0% to 100% and the truck dips forward because of the harshness of the brakes. I'm afraid one of these times I'm going to roll into the back of the car in front of me.
Is this a hybrid brake thing? Does anyone else experience this?
