I have recently purchased a manual 2018 Xtrail which is equipped with the IEB system which has been in the news a lot recently due to possible faults which have now been overcome with a software upgrade.
Anyway, I'm experiencing an issue which I am not sure is normal expected behaviour.
As I approach a car in front of me, on some occasions if I leave applying the brakes a little late, and the Intelligent brake system warns me that I am approaching a car with a visual warning and a sound notification. As I start to apply the brakes, the intelligent system on some occasions then also applies more pressure on the brakes. At this point I hear a loud grinding noise as the car comes to a halt.
The local Nissan dealer has inspected and said the noise is coming from ABS unit and is normal behaviour, but I am not sure if I am just being fobbed off, has anyone else experienced the same thing? Has anyone relied on the Intelligent brakes bringing them to stand still and hearing any loud grinding noises?
