Transmission or brake issues?

[Luispro23]

Hey everyone,
Has anyone experienced an issue where, while braking, you occasionally feel a slight jerk just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop? In the Land Cruiser Hybrid, model 1958 2025.

Every day

Every day

Do you have any idea what it could be? I just got it a week ago.

It's normal. Many users have reported it. I have the same jerking feeling when coming to a stop. It gets a little better over time. Can't remember exactly what the cause is, but has to do with the hybrid system.

Sometimes the transition from automatic braking (not sure of the correct terminology) and manual braking it's a little tough to smoothly transition. A bit herky jerky.

 

[NoMe cruiser]

Yes

It reads like you are describing the tactile sensation of the vehicle transitioning from regenerative braking to hydraulic braking.

In which case. Non issue.

 

[ct1958]

What DoMoCruiser24 wrote is correct. Some times its more aggressive than others. Like it's having mood swings.

It is the clutch between engine and electric motor disengaging. It is harsher during break in and gets better overtime.

It’s the transition from hybrid regen braking to hydraulic braking. Hybrids seem to suffer from poor tuning for whatever reason. It does seem to get better over time but it will randomly come back.

Hahahaha.

I wrote about this last year: Hybrid "Hump Feeling" while Breaking

FYI, after 11 months of ownership, I've realized its a user error thing, there's a BIG adjustment/break-in period with the LC. There's a very particular motion to apply the brakes to make sure you don't over do it and feel the "hump" as I call it. Eventually your mind adjustments to LC breaking method and all is well

Hardest part of a new vehicle to break in is the driver...

Every now and then. Seems like it happens when I take it out for the first drive of the day.

I was going to say, I've never experienced this. But this is our third hybrid, that's probably why -- I already make slow stops out of habit to optimize regenerative braking.
