Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The regenerative brake system occasionally causes problems when on bumpy, slippery, or uneven pavement. The brakes appear to lock-up, or skip when attempting to stop or slow down, causing the vehicle to slide forward abruptly. I am not sure of the exact causation, however I think it may be due to the car switching from regenerative to friction braking. This form requires a date and mileage entry, however I want to point out that this happens every time I am braking on less than perfect pavement.”
