What are the reasons why the Ford Focus brake pedal is hard to press?
1 Answers
When a car fails to start, it means the engine cannot be ignited, which consequently prevents the brake pedal from being depressed. This is the logical sequence of events. Therefore, a car's failure to start does not indicate a fault in the brake system. The automotive braking system is a hydraulic system. To ensure the brake pads press firmly against the brake discs, significant force is required. The brake system consists of a vacuum booster pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake pads, and brake discs. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature resistance protection to prevent corrosion of the brake system, avoid brake pad seizure due to overheating, and eliminate brake squeal; 2. Clean oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, drums, and all components to maintain optimal heat dissipation; 3. Regularly replace brake fluid; 4. Periodically inspect the thickness of brake pads or shoes.
