Owner report 11495307 · 2022-11-29 (November 29, 2022)
Brake line has ruptured and complete failure of brakes. This is due to faulty rubber securing grommet that has become detached from the brake line, allowing the line to rub against the strut tower. Your driver front brake line has ruptured, and your passenger brake line is wearing thin and likely to follow suit and rupture soon.

Owner report 10980047 · 2017-04-24 (April 24, 2017)
I HAVE A 2017 BASE. THE DISTANCE THE BRAKE PEDDLE TRAVELS BEFORE THE BRAKES ENGAGE SEEMS VERY LONG. ABOUT 1/2 WAY DOWN. THE BRAKES THEN WORK FINE. IF I PUMP THE BRAKE ONCE THE PEDDLE SEEM TO RISE TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL AND THE BRAKES SEEM STRONGER. I TOOK IT TO PORSCHE AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES ARE FINE. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED THIS BEFORE IN OTHER CARS IS WITH AIR IN LINE OR BAD MASTER. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM ? IT TAKES EXTRA TIME FOR THE BRAKES TO ACTIVATE WHICH CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT

Owner report 10992795 · 2017-06-02 (June 2, 2017)
BRAKES ARE VERY SPONGY AND NEEDS TO BE PUMPED TO GET IMPROVED BRAKING. VERY RISKY IN SLOW SPEED DUE TO NO TIME/SPACE TO PUMP THE BRAKE. SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS DURING THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER ON 5/15/17 TO CHECK. DEALER REPORT THAT THE BRAKES ARE NORMAL! I UNDERSTAND THAT ARE MANY COMPLAINTS BY THE MACAN OWNERS IN THE MACAN FORUM. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
