iForce Max Creeping forward after stopping

Utilizing the brake “Hold” function at traffic lights eliminates this from occurring.

It actually doesn't because it happens before the hold logic is activated.

Yes, but that doesn't make it right. To me as an ASE L1, L2, L3 Master Technician, this is a safety issue and needs to be properly diagnosed, reported and possibly issue a safety recall. #NHTSA

This a software or hardware problem in your opinion?

operator error is my current vote

Hybrid owner as well. Only 1400 miles on the odo, but I’ve not experienced a similar behavior. You can bet I’ll be paying more attention, though.

I noticed a creep forward when OR is on battery then engine kicks in with a lurch foward. Scary and alarming.

I’ve noticed it also.

2700 mile TH, not in the TSB recall. Doubt this is transmission related anyways. Honestly, feels more like a calibration issue… I had also blamed/doubted my braking consistency at times— till this post at least.

Come to a stop, ICE turns off & battery motor only on, starts to creep forward and i need to apply additional brake pressure.

Has happened on more than one occasion… no surging in my case though, just a roll.
Has caught me off guard though in a couple drive thrus.

My best guess? The ICE on idle isn't putting out the same amount of TQ as the electric at the same brake position.

The electric motor/electric only map kicks on … requiring more brake input due to the inconsistency in TQ output.

For reference sake—My other cars are an AP1 s2000 and a Golf R on st-60 stoptechs. I mention this because those brakes are sensitive by comparison, thus the assumption (and still might be) of not applying enough pressure.

I also think the brakes aren't great anyways on this thing, but again, my basis for comparison is skewed and limited, so I give it a pass — my wife's palisade does inspire more confidence though.

I notice a little* wonkiness on rare occasion in ECO Mode. I think there's something up with ECO mode, uses the turbo a lot, there's some serious tuning & efficiency parameters that could be addressed with this mode, especially on the hybrids.

Much smoother drive and cleaner at/off the stop light in Normal & Sport.
