What to Do When the Cruze's Brakes Are Hard to Press and Fail to Stop the Car?
1 Answers
When the Cruze's brakes are hard to press and fail to stop the car, it may be related to pressing the brakes before turning off the engine or a malfunctioning brake booster pump. Below are detailed explanations of the causes and solutions: 1. Pressing the brakes before turning off the engine: The car's braking system operates at its maximum efficiency only when the engine is running, and the brake booster pump is the key component that facilitates vehicle braking. When the engine is off, pressing the brake pedal three times typically depletes the remaining vacuum force. Solution: Restart the engine and attempt to press the brake pedal firmly again. 2. Brake booster pump air leakage or malfunction: If the brake pedal is pressed after the car is turned off, or if the brake pedal becomes difficult to press while driving, it could be due to air leakage or blockage in the brake booster pump's vacuum tube. Solution: Conduct a thorough inspection and repair.
