Brake Pedal Fail When Cornering - Australia

[BrisbaneDefender]

Hey All, just thought I'd ask if anyone else has issue with their brake pedals when turning? So I was driving along in the road and decided that I wanted to turn right into a small street, hard brake and turned wheels to right and brake pedal gave way for a split second and then recovered. Each time this has happened since it makes a clicking sound when it happens, just recently it happened travelling slowly when I made a quick right turn on a roundabout. This fail has been frequent and scare the crap out of me every time. It has never happened without wheels being turned. Can anyone help?

Where's your nearest dealer, have you contacted them? I wouldn't be happy driving with that, for my safety or others, even cyclists! (joking)

Pretty sure this is the poor excuse for traction control. I get it pretty often myself and can see the warning light up on the panel. It is truly a major annoyance as I have never felt in danger of tipping or slipping UNTIL the traction control kicks in.

I think I have felt this one time under the same sharp turn then brake scenario. I wasn't sure it even happened but it felt like the brake pedal had momentarily disconnected. My gut says it's a conflict between ESC and TC in a paper-scissors-rock contest for who is intervening first. Meanwhile, the brakes go squishy. It's unsettling.

Has happened to me a few times under similar circumstances, I put it down to ABS kicking in due to weight shift to outside from inside front wheel. My Grenadier is a daily driver and every day I do a tight fast right U turn across three lanes of traffic followed by a sharp left and it can happen if rushed. Seemed to occur more when I had KO2s fitted, now running Kumho AT52s which have much better road traction and does not seem to happen.
