Initial braking in wet conditions is poor. After approximately 30 seconds of non-use of brakes in heavy mist or spray, or any precipitation, there is little to no braking action for approximately 1 second after the pedal has been depressed. No brake pedal "pulsing" (associated with ABS activation) is noticed. Cruise control was not active each time the problem was noticed. The problem is more noticeable at highway speed. Brakes are otherwise excellent.

While driving in heavy rain, the rotors felt as though they had a sheen on them that caused the brakes not to function immediately. Almost as if the vehicle was sliding on ice. This occured 4 times in the coarse of a 150 mile trip from philadelphia to New York city.

Wet-braking problem. During heavy rain, water droplets accumulate on disks and cause a 2 second delay in braking action!!!.

When driving in rainy conditions brakesfailed to engage for several seconds after depressing pedal, causing a very dangerous delay.
- Lago Vista, TX, USA
Brake failure occurred under wet conditions. Brakes were applied at 30 mph, but did not engage for a few seconds (3). Brakes "chattered" before car eventually stopped, and luckily there was clear traffic ahead of me.
