I have an IS250 AWD and have tried many variations and braking techniques but nothing seems to quite work!!

Has anyone else noticed this?

I talked to the dealership and was told that it's simply the break in period! I have had the car for 3 months and 5,000km!!
I really pisses me off when I have guests in the car!!!

Im surprised no one else has experienced this

Honestly, I am still not 100% with the brakes and find it somewhat difficult to modulate but noticed by realising brake pressure considerably before the car comes to a hault helps the problem
The car applies the brakes well but I can't seem to get over this problem.

Does your car always come to a jerky stop?
