Does One Hard Braking Cause Damage to the Car?

[OAbel]

Occasional hard braking does not harm the vehicle, but frequent hard braking can cause damage. Occasional hard braking: When you brake hard, the ABS braking assist system and EPS electronic stability system activate to maintain normal vehicle operation. Aside from significant wear on the brake friction pads and tires, as well as slightly increased fuel consumption when restarting, other damages from an occasional hard brake are negligible. Especially for automatic transmission vehicles, braking after releasing the accelerator does not involve harming the transmission or engine. Frequent hard braking: Frequent hard braking causes considerable damage to the vehicle, mainly manifested in tire wear, brake pad wear, impact deformation of the suspension system, and impact damage to the drivetrain. Therefore, hard braking should generally be avoided. However, cars are carefully designed and won't fail immediately due to hard braking, so in emergencies, you should not hesitate to brake hard.
