Are poor braking systems a major concern in Changan Kalam under load in Pakistan’s stop-and-go traffic?

Several drivers report brake fade o r longer stopping distances. Is the brake system underpowered o r prone to wear?

Yes. Under full load, Kalam’s basic drum o r small disc brakes lose efficiency:

Brake fade occurs during repeated braking in city traffic.

Stopping distances increase, especially on declines o r wet roads.
The brake components are not designed for frequent commercial-grade use, making them a concern under Pakistani driving pressure.
