What is the cause of steering wheel brake failure?
2 Answers
Steering wheel brake failure is caused by the following reasons and solutions: Reasons: The durability corrosion issue of the electric power steering harness connector pins may cause the electric power steering system to report fault codes after prolonged vehicle use, potentially leading to failure of the vehicle's electric power steering. Poor pin material quality makes it susceptible to corrosion from external environments and reactive fluids. Problems with the electric power steering system can affect the driving experience and even compromise health and safety. Solutions: Take the vehicle to a 4S shop for repair. The connector can be replaced, or a protective film can be applied to effectively prevent further corrosion of the pins.
I've been driving for over a decade, and having both the steering wheel and brakes fail simultaneously is truly a major issue. I've encountered similar situations before - the steering wheel becomes extremely heavy when turning, feeling like dragging something, while the brake pedal feels soft and powerless when pressed. Usually, such problems could be caused by a failed power steering pump, which also affects the brake vacuum booster system. Worn-out ball joint bushings in the chassis suspension can make steering sticky, and leaking brake fluid lines can cause brake failure. I remember one time when I noticed something wrong just after getting on the highway, so I immediately slowed down and pulled over to the emergency lane to check. My advice is never push through with such faults - just call a tow truck directly, as your life is more valuable than repair costs.
