My wife has about 500 miles on her 2021 CX-5 and we noticed something strange with the "auto hold" feature. If we stop the car smoothly, either from 40 mph or higher or from just 5 mph inching forward in traffic, auto hold does not engage. If we stop less smoothly, like you might if your passenger isn't drinking their coffee, if there isn't a baby sleeping in their car seat, or you just aren't going for smooth, auto hold engages properly. The cause was elusive at first, but after some testing we can reliably reproduce either scenario.
My question is, is this normal? It seems odd for sure, and makes me wonder why the car isn't simply looking for the speed to drop to zero.
