What Are the Causes of Brake Failure?
1 Answers
Brake failure can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. The braking system fails to apply sufficient braking force to the vehicle; 2. Insufficient brake fluid level or air ingress in the brake fluid lines; 3. Malfunction of the brake control system leading to the brakes not operating properly; 4. Poor hydraulic braking performance resulting in brake failure. When experiencing insufficient or complete loss of braking force, the driver should first maintain control of the steering, carefully observe road conditions, especially other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles on the road. After addressing these immediate concerns, the driver should proactively investigate the cause of the brake failure, including checking the dashboard for any warning lights and examining the brake pedal's operation. Additionally, the driver should check for any foreign objects stuck beneath the brake pedal.
