Trafic Spongy Brakes Undervoltage

I drive a Trafic too. I had something similar happen. Felt like the whole brake system was fighting me! Did you check for any squeaky brakes? For me it ended up being an undervoltage issue affecting the ABS. Plays havoc with the pedal feel.

Undervoltage, eh? How did you figure that out? I thought it was just worn brake pads or old brakes. What do you mean by 'havoc'? Was it dangerous to drive?

Yeah, it was throwing up ABS errors intermittently. Basically, the fluctuating voltage messed with the ABS sensors and that translated into weird feedback and reduced braking power. Not ideal, especially in an emergency. Workshop diagnosed it pretty quick. Get yours checked out!

Cheers for the advice! Took it to a workshop, and you were spot on! Turns out there was an undervoltage problem. They sorted the electrics and replaced some worn brake pads. Cost me about 240€, but at least it's sorted now. Thanks again!
