What is the reason for sudden brake failure in a car?
2 Answers
The reason for sudden brake failure in a car is insufficient pressure in the brake pump. Definition of a car: The latest national standard of China, "Terms and Definitions of Types of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T 3730.1-2001), defines a car as follows: a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, mainly used for carrying passengers and/or goods; towing vehicles for carrying passengers and/or goods; or for special purposes. Introduction to domestic car brands: Domestic car brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
Sudden brake failure in a car can indeed be quite frightening. I've seen many repair cases where the issue stems from problems in the braking system. It could be due to low brake fluid levels or the formation of air bubbles causing air lock, which leads to hydraulic transmission failure. If the brake booster pump is damaged, the pedal may become heavy and suddenly fail. Additionally, a faulty ABS sensor or errors in the electronic control unit can also interrupt the braking signal. To avoid such situations, it's recommended to check the brake fluid level and color every 5,000 kilometers and regularly replace the brake pads and discs. If you experience sudden brake loss while driving, don't panic—immediately release the accelerator, downshift to use engine braking, and then slowly pull over to a stop. Safety first; it's best to have a professional shop thoroughly inspect the hydraulic lines and electronic control systems.
