Braking on the 2025 CX5

Quick question. I bought a 2025 about 2 weeks ago. Love the car but it does have a few quirks I have to get used to. One of them, I think, is the feeling of jerking to a sudden stop when braking. I'm talking city driving, getting to a red light, coming to a gradual stop and then when it finally stops completely, it's a rather forceful abrupt almost jolt.

I need to know if this is just the way the car is, or if I should have a mechanic look at the brakes. According to the Carfax, the dealership checked the brakes at the beginning of September. It is a CPO and only has 23k miles on it. I doubt there's anything wrong with the brakes already and it's just something I have to get used to.

Entering Mexico as a temporary resident via a cruise ship

Hey all. Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it if it had. I am coming to Mexico in April 2027 to transition my temporary residency to permanent (yay!) and am just looking into the travel arrangements now. And the most cost effective option I found was a cruise. The INM office I go to is the one on Progreso Beach and Carnival docks there from 9-3 so I should have plenty of time to get this done. That office is always super fast and efficient!

I've never been on a cruise before so I have no idea if they stamp your passport the same way they do at the airport. I do know that its important to not have them stamp me in as a tourist or I'll have to start my residency from scratch. Has anyone attempted this via cruise before? If its not a good idea, that's fine. I have no problem flying into Merida again. Thanks!
