| Description of the problem | I have a 2017 porsche macan and since having the car in my possession, this vehicle has a long brake travel and at a few points, i was not sure that i would be able to stop the car on time. For instance, while approaching a stop sign, i began to push down on the brakes only to apply all force to make the vehicle come to a full stop-luckily i was not on a busy street because i could not get the macan to stop before the stop sign. The distance the brake pedal travels before the brakes actually engage is very long. I am quite disappointed in the needless extent of travel. My vehicle is currently being serviced at manhattan motorcars in new york. When informing the service consultant of this issue, i was later told that "he cannot raise the pedal" and left it at that. One would expect more out of porsche considering the reputation they try to uphold so strongly. |
