My post from that thread

A warranty of 25 years / unlimited miles is absolute insanity, regular braking systems are not warranted that long.
The real worrisome part is others will use this as leverage to extend the warranty on other systems and cars regardless of brand.
Having 4 + decades in and around the car business, I have consistently seen customer expectations exceed reality and this seems to be a turn for the worse. What is next? Pay for the car after you are done using it?

The service writer isn't going to diagnose / give detailed info over the phone, they have done nothing wrong. They are not going to research a long list of trouble codes and give them over the phone. Be aware they are not listed in your warranty PDF.
As I stated in the other thread, this warranty is insanity. It even covers parts that a normal brake system has like wheel speed sensors and brake switches.

This would be a good data point, what trouble codes does the SBC have? Having codes is critical.
Can you quantify how difficult the car is to stop? How does this compare to a regular car that has lost power assist?
