The claim is that even at full throttle the engine will easily succumb to full brake application with stopping distance barely being affected.
However, if you were not applying full stopping power, at least initially, I can see how this could be scary that you needed to fight the vehicle to make it stop.
I don't know much about what modern engines log, but I assume it is only if they had detected something unusual. But what if the system did not think something is unusual because it does not check for it or the check is incorrect. Now that they reset the computer there is better chances that any residual clue is now gone. Now, try proving you have no sister.
