Brake problem?

[lmhdex]

Hi

I have been driving my latio 4AT sports base for 4 months now.

Do not know if I'm over sensitive but I feel that my brakes are not very responsive.  Somehow I have to step harder on the brakes before the car comes to a complete stop.  When the car was new, I just need to step a little bit and the car will slow down already.

What gives?

i have the same issue. Brought this up at TCM during servicing but the SA said it is normal. Changed the front 2 brake pads but still the same. I never understand. My previous car also like that.

Will be glad if i can get some advice here too. haha.

Previously my Honda Jazz also felt the same thing, went to KM and they changed the brake fluid for me as suspected trapped air bubbles, just my personal experience.

Hi, I've the same problem with you on my PFL Latio Sedan. First,I change the following :
1. tyre to wider profile, 185/65/R15  tp 195/60/R15. Braking improve a bit.
2. This is where I enjoy most since I get my latio. I've change to Runstop Sport kit + Nano Brake pad. It improve the the Braking system where Nissan Latio lack off.

You can search for Runstop Sport kit in the forum for the improvement. Hope it help you.

Just mentioned about the poor braking response in earlier post...

Midnight,

You probably did not slam on your brake pedal hard enoughto activate the ABS, resulting in the accident.



Imhdex,

I find my Latio brakes serve their primary objective. Perhaps it all boils down to expectations. Latio uses rear drums brakes afterall.

I dunno, but i think my ABS already activated....

Not too sure about the "expectation" theory, because this is my first ride, so rightfully, I shouldn't have anything to compare with.

I just felt that it doesn't feel as "jiak" as in the first couple of months. Last week, I jam braked couple of times because somehow felt that the pressure I used to apply on the brakes to slow down the car suddenly had to be increased.

I called my SA and he said may be due to wet weather recently, so brake pads may be wet or something.

You may wish to check your tyre pressure and if your tyres have sufficient thread.

Do check all your brake pads too.

I changed mine too. Better brake.

correct me if I am wrong, ABS does not help you to stop at the shortes distance but just prevent your wheel loock when you brake hard. So if you change better brake parts, you can stop at shorter distance without the need to brake hard (that trigger ABS).

change to SS brake hose will get back the same feeling like new.

Hi What is SS brake hose?  You changed it at TCM?  Is it covered by warranty?

Thanks

I agree with what you said. The brake doesn't feel as 'jiak' anymore. I experienced the same with my previous car also.

Changed front 2 brake pads doesn't help.  Our rear is drum brake, what can we do?

There must be a cause for it. TCM also didnt manage to advise yet.

Where can we get the SS brake hose. Will it affect my NPMP package?
This is brake related parts, the installer must be good enough....

Very impt....
