What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Releasing the Brake?
1 Answers
Releasing the brake with a squeaking noise is a normal phenomenon for automatic transmission vehicles. The brake noise can be attributed to two main factors: the gap between the brake pads and the uneven hardness of the brake disc, which may contain metals like copper, causing an uneven surface on the brake pads. The slower and lighter you release the brake, the more noticeable this noise becomes. Here are some tips for braking in a car: 1. Release the brake once before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, then gently press the brake again until the vehicle stops moving. 2. When braking in a curve, reduce the speed sufficiently by braking. Emergency braking on slippery curved roads can easily cause the vehicle to skid. You can downshift the transmission to utilize engine braking for deceleration.
