Last month I recieved 2.4.2.
'We heard what you had to say and we took action. The brake pedal feel is modified to allow for smoother braking'
I've driven the car a few times since then, I've been remote and went in this week. Today on the parkway I tapped someone in traffic around 5-10mph.
I can blame myself for not understanding the braking feel, but I went pretty hard. Also interesting, auto-braking came in, albeit late, and I tapped someone around 5-10mph.
Wasn't going too aggressive, was in the middle lane and actually let out early.
Has anyone had a situation where 2.4.2 'smoother' braking caused something like this?
I would have thought even if I wasn't used to the less grippy feel of the braking, auto-brake, which is on, enabled, and set to take action didn't apply a hard enough brake.... I kind of don't mind how smooth the brake is if it's an emergency situation.
Now I owe someone a CX5 bumper because my 'smart' car with auto-braking enabled at a moderate / take action pace didn't notice traffic came to a halt as fast as I could.
Not complaining, just... perhaps don't put as much faith in auto-braking as I did for unpredictable situations such as parkway traffic.
It being pretty conservative and freaking out when others were making turns in the past I guess lulled me into following too close.
Beware of 2.4.2... if you were used to the bit of 'grip' moderate braking gave (maybe 75%) it's not there anymore.
EDIT: Wasn't all bad, saw someone driving a black Mach-E with really nice rims after.
