What are the causes of vehicle brake failure?
1 Answers
Lack of maintenance in the braking system, with excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder. Vehicle overload leading to brake failure. Improper operation causing mechanical failure, such as prolonged downhill braking. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive clearance in the brake, poor contact of the brake shoe friction lining, severe wear, or oil contamination. Symptoms of automotive brake failure include: 1. Excessive travel of the brake pedal, resulting in delayed braking response. 2. Very low or complete loss of braking efficiency, leading to increased stopping distance. 3. When stepping on the brake pedal, it feels neither soft nor hard, but the braking performance is still poor.
