On/Off carbon Ceramic Brake
I got a 2010 SLS with Carbon Ceramic Brake. I am having problem modulating the brake as after the initial few mm of pedal travel, the brake just hits very hard, making it very difficult to have smooth braking. Anyone share the same problem and any solution? Thx

SLS Ceramic brake problems!!
I have a new 2012 SLS with ceramic brakes.
I own other supercars and some with ceramic brakes.... I ordered the SLS with these brakes because my experience with other manufacturers using carbon ceramics has been great! They operate consistently and smoothly, whether the conditions are hot or cold, - fast or slow!
The brakes on the SLS are grabbie and unpredictable at best, - which to me, -makes the car unsafe and unenjoyable to drive. Mercedes' response so far has been that "these are the characteristics of ceramic brakes and that the car is operating as Mercedes designed it to work..."
Has anyone else experienced this problem, - and how did you get it resolved?
