OK, Hear me out: strange 'fix" to odd braking problem...

[raymaines]

I had the software updated recently and that made a noticeable difference.

I changed my Collision Avoidance setting from Normal to Low and thought maybe it made a difference. Set it to High sensitivity and couldn't feel much, if any, change. Back to Normal, back to Low, no real change. I'm going to call it Confirmation Bias for me in my particular truck. YMMV.

Right now I have it set on High, but I haven't been out in traffic yet so I don't know how that will work out.

So.....

You could/should switch the setting back, and see if the symptom returns.

Did you do that? Will you?

FYI I just changed mine from normal to low. I'll let ya know if I detect any difference after a few days.

I did that, besides the umph at the last second I already mentioned, it's seems like overall the Regen braking in general is more pronounced when at mid level versus low. Which again, makes me think it has something to do with the programming for that particular mode.

But what do I know...

I've had my Mav about two months now, and in all that time I've been bothered by the braking, which has been nowhere near as effortlessly unnoticeable as I'm accustomed to in my work CMAX. Every single time I stopped, whether in traffic or utterly alone on the road with no one near me, the last seconds of the stop were always.... not a "lurch," that's too strong a word, but a noticeable mini-dramatic stop thingee. Sorry, I don't know a better way to describe it. I tried literally everything, assuming this was just a different vehicle for me, different brakes, I needed to find the sweet spot for using them, but no... Same thing no matter what. Enough of a thing that I noticed it on every... Single... Stop.​

​

I did vaguely recall reading some thread here over the past year where someone mentioned, in passing, that the collision avoidance sensitivity might come into play? Something about when he vehicle is approaching another, like coming up to a light, it actually begins a little behind he scenes "prep" and starts doing so e pre-braking for you, subtley. Okay, that doesn't explain why it happened even if I stopped at a light with NO one in front of me, but good to know.​

​

Anyway, after two months of just about telling myself oh well this is just how a MAV brakes, I happened to be in the menu one day and decided to knock the collision sensitivity down a notch, from mid to low sensitivity.​

​

Damn if my MAV is not now braking "normally, just like I'm accustomed to in the CMAX, braking in a way I never again have to even give a thought to.​

.​

I'll openly admit I don't know enough about all this collision avoidance new fangled stuff, but I don't know what else to say.... two months on mid level and every single braking is a last minute umph, then I change the one setting and it's like I have a different truck.​

​

Just putting this out there, in case anyone else is experiencing it, or if anyone has some wisdom on why that simple change made such a difference, immediately. Weirdness, for sure. I'm just happy to not have to baby the brakes every single time now and hope to moderate that umph anymore.​

Tried this tonight and I think you are on to something. Seems vastly improved
