What to Do When the Famili Makes a Noise When Starting and Braking?
4 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.
As someone who frequently works on car repairs, this kind of brake noise during startup is not uncommon in the Familia. The main reasons are wear and tear on brake components, such as friction sounds caused by poor contact between brake pads and discs; it could also be due to aging wheel bearings or suspension systems causing vibrations. I suggest starting with simple checks: after turning off the engine, feel the surface of the brake discs with your hand to see if they are smooth or have grooves; then listen for any unusual sounds from the brake calipers. If the brake pads are fine, it might just be excessive dust buildup, which can be gently blown away with a high-pressure air gun. Remember not to ignore this noise—small issues can escalate into major failures, and in severe cases, brake failure can be dangerous. It's best to check the brake system during regular maintenance. The Familia's brake design is reliable, but improper maintenance can easily lead to noise. Don't skimp on costs or skip necessary steps; replace parts when needed—safety comes first.
When starting the Famry, there is a strange noise from the brakes, probably indicating the brake system needs simple maintenance. I've encountered this myself—it could be dirt or rust stuck on the brake pads, especially noticeable at low speeds when starting. Let me teach you a DIY fix: First, find a quiet place and pump the brakes a few times to see if the noise lessens. Then, check around the wheels for any debris and wipe the brake discs clean with a damp cloth. If that doesn’t work, the brake pads might be nearing the end of their lifespan, and replacing them should solve the issue. Don’t worry about cost—Famry parts are easy to find and affordable. Just remember to rinse off dust during regular car washes. After this, the noise should mostly disappear, making driving smoother.
