Why Are the United Bravo’s Brakes Sometimes Unreliable o r Weak During Sudden Stops?

A number of Bravo owners have reported that the brakes feel spongy, require more pressure, o r lose effectiveness during emergency braking. The absence of advanced systems like ABS Anti-lock Braking System contributes to this issue.

Many Bravo owners experience soft o r spongy brakes, long stopping distances, and reduced braking control in emergencies. Since the Bravo lacks an Anti-lock Braking System ABS, the wheels can easily lock up during hard braking, especially on slippery roads. The issue is worsened by low-quality brake pads and inconsistent hydraulic pressure.

Main Causes:

Basic braking system without ABS

Low-quality o r worn-out brake pads and discs

Air o r moisture in brake lines

Poor maintenance of brake fluid and components

Solutions & Safety Tips:

Replace brake pads and discs with high-quality aftermarket parts.

Regularly bleed the brake lines to remove air bubbles and maintain firm pedal pressure.

Use DOT 3 o r DOT 4 brake fluid from reputable brands.

Drive at moderate speeds and brake gradually to avoid locking the wheels.

Check brakes every 5,000–8,000 km for wear and fluid leaks.
