What Causes the Brake Noise in the T-Roc?
2 Answers
The main reason for the brake noise in the T-Roc is the average quality of the brake pads equipped on the vehicle, which are relatively hard, leading to noise during braking. This noise tends to become increasingly severe over time. Below is some related information: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The T-Roc is an SUV under the Volkswagen brand. 2. Vehicle Features: The T-Roc is equipped with Alcantara material seats, a panoramic sunroof, an electric tailgate, a Beats audio system, a 10.3-inch Active Info Display full LCD instrument panel, and also offers various active and passive safety configurations such as front collision warning.
I've been driving the T-Roc for over a year, and brake squealing is quite common. In most cases, it's because the brake pads have worn thin or the surface has aged and become uneven, causing a squeak with light pressure. After rain or car washing, the brake discs are prone to rust or retain moisture, making the first few brake applications louder. Another possibility is small stones getting stuck between the pads and discs, creating terrifying grinding noises. I experienced this once when driving uphill—the wheels picked up a lot of dirt, and sand particles scratched the brake pads. It only improved after replacing them. Never ignore such issues; brake noise during rush hour can distract you, and if emergency braking distance increases, accidents are more likely. I recommend immediately visiting a 4S shop to check the brake pad thickness. If they're severely worn, replace them with genuine parts—though pricier, they offer better compatibility. Try to minimize sudden braking in daily driving, and let the braking system cool down during breaks after highway driving to extend component lifespan.
