There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I'm just raising awareness with this as there have been a small number of incidents that are unexplained. Just keep your eyes and ears peeled for similar cases, I have read of 4 so far. Most people involved with these kind of cases think thy're all alone and it doesn't get widely discussed. See how long it took Toyota to go from a few reported cases to a recall. My Spyder, despite all the fiddling I've had to do on it, hgas what I believe is one of the better Nannies. I had to lift a front wheel before it even pulled the throttle back (a smidgen).

This sounds very much like an incident that I experienced in 2017. Going through a right-hand sweeper at 60+mph and had the nanny suddenly brake on me sending me into the oncoming lane of traffic -- luckily no cars coming towards me at that moment. I had wheel balancers on my F3. I removed them as soon as I got home and have never reinstalled them. I took it to the dealership and there were no codes. I still ride that canyon all the time, but not as aggressively as that trip. Since removing the wheel balancers, I've never had any more issues (over 50,000 miles on it now), but this (and similar threads) make me wonder. My original thread was this one: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...-left-only-when-braking&p=1256829#post1256829.

Mr Vondalyn,
Was your incident referenced in post #12 of this thread? If not, that makes 5 total reported incidents with unintended braking.
Edit- Make that 6, the last one on the list had 2 separate incidents.

My incident was not referenced in any of the previous threads. For my situation, there was no oil on the road, though in our canyons it's always possible that there's loose gravel. There was a motorcycle behind me and he didn't have any issues other than probably wondering what the heck I was doing. I was shaken up enough to wave him around me.

This is how a recall progresses. Almost everyone will try to explain away the problem, often forgetting it happened. Nobody thinks to report the aberrant behavior to the NTSB for tracking, so it goes unnoticed and flying below the radar until someone dies. Just like the GM recall, anytime you have a huge amount of code there is inevitably some glitches that only manifest in very specific instances, so they may go unnoticed for years. My question is, if one of the wheel sensors fails, is the software program robust enough to recognize a failure from an actual even and take an appropriate action. Apparently GM, with all it's money and R&D departments didn't have the appropriate program in the recalled vehicles.
I will reiterate, my 2018 RTL has impeccable road manners, the nanny acting very appropriately and reducing the throttle when I lifted a front wheel, but I read all manner of stories of different behaviors for similar models. Wonder what causes this?
