Hey folks,
I'm experiencing some odd behavior with my Model 3 Performance's brakes. Yesterday while exiting the highway on a clover-leaf offramp, I lightly hit the brakes and the ABS intervened to the extent that the brakes barely engaged. I came in pretty hot, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Immediately afterward, I pulled into an office park to do some testing. I did a straight-line, simulated panic brake from 30 mph and the ABS engaged normally. Then I simulated a low speed corner and took it fast--but again, nothing crazy--and gently pressed the brakes. Once again, the ABS engaged immediately.
I am aware there is some cornering ABS built-in to keep drivers from stabbing the brakes mid-corner and flying off the road, but this seemed excessive and not at all what I'm used to (I've had the car for two years).
There are two things I think could be contributing factors and I would love to hear some opinions:
1. I just had my local shop (not a TSC) flush my brake fluid last week. This isn't the kind of symptom I usually think of with air trapped in the ABS module, but I suppose it's possible.
2. I installed the UP adjustable AutoX shocks and the MPP FLCA bushings two weeks ago. No idea how that would impact the ABS while cornering, but it's the only other thing that changed.
Thanks in advance.
