    Anyone having issues coming to a gentle halt in the Leaf? What I mean is slowing down at say a traffic lights and the last few metres are very jerky, feels like the brakes have been jammed on just before coming to a stop, making it difficult to come to a gentle stop no matter how you feather the brake pedal?

    Hope I'm making sense here :-)

    Yes I have the exact same thing.
    40k km since my purchase and i have not been able to improve! (I think it's because my "braking" is mostly regen so I don't have much practice actually braking!)

    Its normal.
    Ive had my discs and pads changed and its still the same.

    Sometimes very noticeable if you hit the brakes, then come off them and press the brakes straight away, there's a noticeable firming up of the pedal.

    Thanks folks - good to know there isn't anything wrong with mine anyway! Strikes me as something that could be fixed via a software update.

    Some people have tried stomping on the brakes hard when doing a crawling speed (obviously when it is safe to do so) and have had success with the brake issue going away - giving this a shot this evening:www.eva-scotland.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=355
