What are the reasons for a new car's brakes not working properly?
1 Answers
New car brakes not working properly can be attributed to the following reasons: Vehicle braking issues: The car still lacks noticeable braking effect, with a significantly extended braking distance. Wheels not locking up: ABS not activating, causing the car to roll forward. The first issue likely stems from the tires, possibly due to severe tire wear and reduced static friction coefficient, making the tires prone to locking up and causing ABS to intervene too early, resulting in ineffective braking force and compromising safety. Air conditioning impact: Many car owners notice that the brakes are harder to press in summer. This is because most cars run the air conditioning in summer, and if the car has a small engine displacement, it can increase the engine load, ultimately affecting braking performance.
