Peugeot iOn brake vibration

Hey, I'm experiencing some really weird brake issues with my 2015 Peugeot iOn (electric engine) at 139900 km. Lately, I've been getting this strange feedback from the brake pedal, almost like a vibration. I checked the brake fluid level, and it seems okay. I'm a bit worried since it's never happened before. Any ideas what could be causing this? I rely on this car every day!

Summary of the thread

A 2015 Peugeot iOn owner experienced unusual brake pedal vibrations and sought advice. The issue was suspected to be related to the regenerative braking system, potentially caused by an undervoltage problem. After consulting a professional, it was confirmed that undervoltage was affecting the braking system, and the issue was resolved with a repair costing 240€.

That's interesting. I had a similar issue with my old Renault Zoe. The weird feedback turned out to be related to undervoltage in the system messing with the regenerative braking. Does the iOn use regenerative braking? If so, maybe that's playing a part.

Interesting, I do notice it while braking. How did you pinpoint the undervoltage as the cause? What symptoms did you experience in your Renault?

Well, initially, I thought it was just worn brake shoes or something simple. But the feedback became more pronounced over time. Eventually, the car threw an error code related to the charging system and the brakes. The workshop diagnosed it as undervoltage affecting various components, including the regenerative braking. I'd suggest getting it checked out by a professional.

Thanks a lot! I took your advice and brought it to the shop. Turns out, the undervoltage issue was indeed the problem, messing with the braking system. They fixed it for 240€, and the weird pedal feedback is gone now. Really appreciate your help!
