What to Do When the Famili Makes a Noise When Starting and Braking?
2 Answers
When the Famili makes a noise when starting and braking, the brake pads should be replaced in time to avoid scratching the brake disc and brake failure. Brake pads generally have warning plates. When the brake pads wear to the limit, the warning plates will rub against the brake disc, producing a sharp metal friction sound. The Famili sedan is equipped with a 1.6L + 6MT high-efficiency powertrain, featuring a self-developed 1.6L engine with high-efficiency power. The 1.6L naturally aspirated engine independently developed by Haima adopts low-friction technology for moving parts and uses advanced technologies such as variable intake manifold, intake-side variable valve timing system iVVT, 421 close-coupled exhaust manifold, lightweight all-aluminum engine, and priority cooling cylinder head, improving combustion efficiency and power performance while reducing fuel consumption.
I encountered a similar issue when I first drove my Familia. There was a squeaking sound when braking at startup. Initially, I thought it was a minor problem and ignored it, but later the noise became louder. I believe this is likely due to dust or grease buildup on the brake pads, especially in humid weather, or small stones stuck between the brake pads and discs. You can try a simple DIY solution first, such as finding a clean spot and repeatedly pressing the brakes a few times to see if it can grind away the debris. If that doesn't work, I recommend checking the thickness of the brake pads. Generally, if they're thinner than 3mm, they should be replaced because severe wear can lead to persistent noise. Finally, if you can't fix it yourself, take it to a repair shop immediately to have a mechanic check it out to avoid safety risks. Regularly cleaning the brake system after car washes can also prevent this issue. In short, don't delay—address it early for peace of mind. Driving with strange noises is just too annoying.
