braking in reverse

Going to the dealer in the morning, maybe I need to be retrained on how to drive this thing. Far cry from a minivan.

IMO I would think it's more of a learning curve with the new vehicle. Nothing bad meant by that comment for sure. Just a learning curve.
Since it does not have a transmission pursae, you don't feel things the same way with the MG's etc.

Ah, thanks for the link, I am still going to the dealer in the morning for a bad rattle in my glove box area. I have not heard the grinding again, so hopefully it was something else and not my car.

I'm crossing my fingers and going with a stick stuck into something under the car or something similar, maybe ran over something plastic like and drug it a short distance maybe etc.

I had to cancel the appointment with the dealer, had to do something else. Going in on Tuesday. I have not heard anything, but I did have the brakes swell on me again.
