“After the most recent recalls were repaired (all software) on my vehicle the brakes in the car were terrible. Soft /dead pedal feel. I almost rear ended other cars multiple times wen braking at slow speeds. Occasionally the pedal would go all the way to the floor when slowing to 3-5mph - This was consistent over multiple days after I got the car back from recall updates. Also , the first inc of brake pedal travel did not slow teh car at all.”

Porsche has issued a STOP order for dealers to use affected vehicles as loaners. …”
