The reasons for the Peugeot 408's hard braking and inability to stop are as follows: 1. Excessive wear of brake pads: Once the brake pads are excessively worn, they should be replaced promptly. Otherwise, it can easily lead to the phenomenon of being unable to stop, and it may also affect the brake disc. In severe cases, it can cause damage to the braking system. 2. Deterioration of brake fluid: Brake fluid, commonly known as brake oil, absorbs moisture from the air during long-term use, which reduces its inherent boiling point. When the boiling point drops significantly, it can affect the car's braking performance, resulting in the inability to stop the car. Therefore, brake fluid needs to be replaced regularly. 3. Driving too fast in rainy weather: Driving too fast in rainy weather can also cause the car to be unable to stop. This is because driving in the rain forms a layer of water film on the tires, which can somewhat affect the braking performance of the tires. If driving at high speed in the rain, it is very likely to encounter the situation of being unable to stop the car. 4. Newly replaced brake pads: Since the newly replaced brake pads have not yet been properly broken in with the car, there may be a situation where the car cannot be stopped effectively. New brake pads also require a certain break-in period to maximize their braking effectiveness.
