Hi All.

Driving home from dealer on Saturday night...800 km away. Get to 700 km mark. “Brake failure ...stop safely.”

Loaded to flatbed and back to dealer. Obviously not impressed after migrating from BMW and Audi. I know, can happen anyone/anytime.

Hi,

Can I ask how the brake failure was rectified? I had this warning appear this morning. After half an hour sat on the drive the message had cleared? Maybe just a blip but would be interesting to hear from someone else who had had the same warning and if you have had it reappear?

Happened to me today. Brake failure warning. Stopped in layby using brakes!! - which worked !! Tried to start off but parking brakes remained on and wouldn't disengage, front wheels dragged rear for a few inches!
Left it off a few minutes, turned on ignition and drove off.
Seems to be these cars full of flaky software. Never had this problem before.
