What Causes a Car's Handbrake to Fail?
1 Answers
The reasons for a car's handbrake failing to hold include brake fluid leakage and thinning brake discs. The specific causes are as follows: Brake Fluid Leakage: It is necessary to inspect the brake fluid, as leakage or insufficient brake fluid can result in the handbrake failing to hold. The braking system mainly consists of several parts: the energy supply device, control device, transmission device, and brake. The primary function of the braking system is to decelerate or even stop a moving car, maintain a stable speed for a car going downhill, and keep a parked car stationary. Thinning Brake Discs: Accompanied by body vibration or abnormal noises when braking, this is due to thinning brake discs or foreign objects entering the brake pads. Uneven surfaces on the brake discs can cause sharp metallic friction sounds when braking, as well as insufficient braking force, longer braking distances, and softer braking.
