What are the reasons for the ineffective brakes of the Haval H3?
2 Answers
Common reasons for the ineffective brakes of the Haval H3 mainly include water ingress in the brake fluid, leaks in the brake system, damage to the booster, etc. Excessive moisture or air in the brake fluid: This causes air resistance in the brake fluid, leading to insufficient force in the calipers during braking and ultimately resulting in brake failure. Leakage in the brake system: Due to aging or other reasons, the main components or pipelines of the brake system may develop leaks in the brake fluid. Damage to the booster: If the brake booster is damaged or there is a vacuum issue, it cannot provide the necessary assistance. Poor braking performance of the brake discs and pads: If you experience ineffective brakes during daily driving, it is essential to immediately drive to a repair facility for inspection and maintenance.
Driving SUVs like the Haval H3 for a long time, brake failure is really a big issue. I often drive on mountain roads and feel abnormal brake softness or hardness. The most common problem is that the brake pads wear too thin. You need to check them every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers—if the thickness is below 3mm, it’s dangerous. It could also be due to low fluid level or contaminated/water-mixed brake fluid in the reservoir, leading to insufficient hydraulic pressure and a weak pedal feel. Fluid leaks in the lines or ABS sensor malfunctions can also cause trouble. Last year, my car had this issue, and the mechanic said the H3 model’s braking system ages faster. If you notice any abnormalities, don’t push it—pull over, turn on the hazard lights, and get it inspected and serviced at a professional shop to avoid accidents. Regularly replacing the fluid and pads is key to prevention—safety first, after all.
