Here are the specific reasons for brake failure in Dongfeng Fengxing T5 Evo: 1. Severe overloading: When the vehicle is severely overloaded, the increased inertia due to gravity acceleration directly leads to brake failure. 2. Improper operation: Mechanical failure caused by improper operation, such as prolonged downhill driving, can cause brake pads to overheat, brake drums to carbonize, and the braking function to completely fail. 3. Weather factors: In summer, most cars use air conditioning, which can easily increase the engine load and ultimately affect braking performance. 4. Lack of maintenance: Insufficient maintenance of the braking system can result in excessive impurities in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, failure of the vacuum booster pump, contaminated brake fluid, or the formation of air resistance when different types of brake fluid are mixed and heated. Additionally, leaks in the brake master cylinder or wheel cylinders, or air leaks in the air reservoir or pipe connections can also cause brake failure.

I just encountered a similar issue and can help analyze the possible causes. Brake failure in the T5 EVO is most likely due to a brake system leak or insufficient hydraulic pressure, as aging or damaged brake lines can cause fluid loss and inadequate pressure. Another possibility is a faulty ABS sensor misreporting the vehicle speed, leading to assist failure. Additionally, severely worn brake pads failing to grip the disc is a common issue. Poor maintenance, such as not changing the brake fluid for a long time, can allow air to enter the system, resulting in a soft and weak brake pedal. I recommend pulling over immediately and not taking any risks, then checking if any warning lights are on. Visit a professional shop as soon as possible to have the entire system checked with a pressure tester to ensure safe driving. Developing a habit of checking fluids and wear every 5,000 kilometers can help prevent such issues.

What Causes Brake Noise After Washing the Car?

The reason for brake noise after washing the car is that water enters the wheel's brake drum during washing, and sand particles splash onto the brake pads along with the water, causing noise when braking. The steps for washing the car are: 1. Park the car in an open area, turn off the engine, and shut down all in-car equipment; 2. Prepare car wash detergent; 3. Use a water gun to wet the entire surface of the car body; 4. You can use a high-pressure water gun to rinse the wheels and the bumpers on both sides; 5. Apply the detergent evenly on the car's surface using a sponge or flannel cloth; 6. Rinse off the foam and dirty water from the car body with a water gun; 7. Dry the car body with a car wash cloth.

Should the ETC card chip face up or down?

ETC card chip should face up. ETC is the Electronic Toll Collection system, which uses dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna on the ETC lane at the toll station. It employs computer networking technology to conduct background settlement processing with banks, achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. Precautions for using ETC include: 1. The ETC transaction sensing area is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device failure of the vehicle in front, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters from the vehicle ahead; 2. The recognition speed for ETC lane passage is 20 kilometers per hour. Excessive speed may result in failure to read vehicle device information, leading to unsuccessful fee deduction; 3. When using a debit card to bind with ETC, insufficient balance may also cause fee deduction failure.

What Causes the Burning Smell When Slamming the Accelerator in an Automatic Transmission Car?

Regarding the causes of a burning smell when slamming the accelerator in an automatic transmission car: 1. There may be a malfunction in the vehicle's electrical system. 2. It could be due to previous aggressive driving, which may have caused severe brake pad wear, overheating, and resulting in a burning odor. 3. Aging plastic pipes in the vehicle may be the cause. Solutions for the burning smell when slamming the accelerator in an automatic transmission car: 1. Pay attention to regular maintenance. When the maintenance light on the dashboard illuminates, it indicates that the vehicle should be taken for servicing. 2. Routine maintenance includes changing the engine oil and other fluids, replacing the oil filter, and conducting a thorough inspection of the vehicle.

How to Repair a Leaking Battery Case?

The method for repairing a leaking battery case is as follows: The material of the battery case is polypropylene, so it can only be repaired using a plastic welding gun with polypropylene plastic welding rods. Turn on the electronic temperature-controlled plastic welding gun, direct it towards the convex surface of the welding rod, and when you see both the welding rod and the case melting, push the welding rod by hand to move it slowly until the repair is complete. Information about the battery is as follows: 1. A car battery (Car-battery), also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. 2. Batteries are categorized into conventional batteries, dry-charged batteries, and maintenance-free batteries. The commonly referred-to battery is a lead-acid battery, and the normal service life of a car battery ranges from 1 to 8 years, which largely depends on the condition of the vehicle.

What are the reasons for body shaking when an automatic transmission is in D gear?

The reasons and solutions for body shaking when an automatic transmission is in D gear are as follows: 1. Excessive engine carbon deposits, causing incomplete combustion of gasoline, leading to engine shaking and abnormal noises. Clean the carbon deposits on the engine promptly. 2. Excessive carbon deposits on the throttle valve. Users can clean the throttle valve. Carbon deposits on the throttle valve affect its opening degree and air intake, causing the engine speed to fluctuate erratically after a cold start, making it very unstable. 3. Excessive carbon deposits on the spark plugs. Carbon deposits can be cleaned to restore the activity of the spark plugs; however, some spark plugs may have expired, leading to reduced performance. Weak sparks from individual spark plugs on certain cylinders can affect the car's performance, causing minor faults such as unstable idling. Replace the spark plugs with new ones promptly.
