What Causes the Vehicle to Lurch Forward When Braking to a Stop?
1 Answers
It is normal for a vehicle to lurch forward when braking to a stop. Below are the reasons for this phenomenon:1. After pressing the brake pedal, the ECU increases throttle opening to prevent engine stalling, causing a slight rise in engine RPM which results in the vehicle lurching forward. 2. Both brake pads and rotors are wear items requiring periodic replacement. As mileage accumulates, these components gradually wear down. 3. Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic. Excessive moisture content in the fluid can reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distance.
