What Causes Brake Failure?

Brake failure reasons: 1. Excessive moisture or air in the brake fluid, causing air resistance in the system, resulting in weak caliper pressure and eventual brake failure; 2. Brake system leakage due to aging of major components or pipelines causing brake fluid leakage; 3. Damaged brake booster or vacuum system failure, unable to provide assistance; 4. Internal damage to the master cylinder or wheel cylinders; 5. Poor braking performance of brake discs/pads; 6. Malfunction in the vehicle's brake system. The brake system is one of the most crucial components of a vehicle, serving to decelerate or stop moving vehicles, maintain stable speed during downhill driving, and keep stationary vehicles immobile.
