    I have an appointment this afternoon for the brake recall.
    When I mentioned the brakes pulsating and having a mind of their own when I go in reverse, the service rep. said he never heard of that.
    I have read about others on this forum having the same issue.
    Have you had your problem fixed?

    I suggest you take the car with the service rep for a test drive. You drive it (since you know the condition / circumstances) and let them drive it if necessary.
    Good luck,

    Some have found that after the sw upgrade, the reverse braking issue went away.
    I'd get it done and then recheck for the condition.

    Make sure they hook up an auxillary power unit when flashing the ECU.
