Braking and sluggish when parking

[hordm14]

Hey everyone! My wife just purchased a new 2025 Landcruiser, the car drives great...however today, when making a tight turn with parking, it was almost as if the car was automatically braking. This isn't something I noticed for the first couple of days of owning the vehicle. It also feels this way in reverse. After playing with some of the settings (VSC, etc), it almost feels as if it is getting worse, so I'm not exactly sure what is going on. Apologies if this is vague, but if there is something simple in the settings, I'd love to figure it out before having to take it back up to the dealership. Thanks for anyone who reads!

Sounds like nannies intervening. And warnings from the dash?

One of the safety features is called PDA proactive driver assist. It will automatically brake for you amomg other things and feel like heavy engine braking approaching a stop sign. The icon looks like a car with three circles around it. I turned it off completely and it put a stop to that automatic breaking. Maybe play with it i believe the setting has different sensitivities.

Make sure your center differential is not engaged, same symptoms. Happened on my wife's LC. She swears she didn't touch the switch.
