What to Do When the Haima M6 Makes Abnormal Noises When Starting and Braking?

[SanCalvin]

There are many reasons why the Haima M6 may produce abnormal noises when starting and braking. The relevant explanations are as follows: 1. The brake disc and brake pads are stuck together due to rust, causing abnormal noises: This usually occurs after driving in rainy weather or after the car has been parked for a long time. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in abnormal noises when starting the car again. This issue can be resolved by applying butter or specialized lubricating oil to the connection between the brake pads and the brake caliper. 2. Abnormal noises when starting and braking in cold weather: Due to low temperatures, the rubber parts of the suspension become harder, and the surfaces of the brake disc and brake pads may also change, leading to abnormal noises when starting. The noises will disappear once the car warms up. 3. Excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads causing abnormal noises: Both the brake disc and brake pads are high-wear components. Every time the brakes are applied, these two parts experience friction, leading to natural wear over time. When the wear becomes excessive, abnormal noises will occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while the brake disc should be replaced every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers.

My Haima M6 also had the issue of strange noises when braking at startup. I guess it was a minor problem with the braking system. After being parked for a long time, the brake discs tend to rust, causing a squeaking sound when braking, which is particularly common in humid seasons. You can try driving a short distance gently and applying the brakes several times to wear off the rust—sometimes the noise disappears. If the sound persists, it might be due to uneven brake pad wear or debris stuck in the system. I would first check the thickness of the brake pads myself, but it's best to take it to a trusted repair shop for inspection, as brakes are crucial for driving safety. Last time I encountered this, cleaning them solved the problem, but don’t delay too long to avoid a small issue turning into a big one.

As a long-time owner of the Haima M6, I believe that brake noise is mostly caused by issues with the brake pads or discs. It could be due to dust or small stones stuck on the pads, or excessive edge wear leading to friction sounds. Brake noise when starting the car is common after the vehicle has been parked for a while, and I've encountered it multiple times. My suggestion is to find a safe spot, lift the front wheels with a jack, and use a flashlight to inspect the brake components for obvious rust or foreign objects. If everything looks fine, apply some specialized lubricant to the moving parts of the brake caliper. If the noise persists, it's best to visit a repair shop and have a technician use professional tools to diagnose the issue to prevent any decline in braking performance. Ignoring this minor issue could negatively impact your daily driving experience.

When I encountered abnormal noise from the brakes while starting my Haima M6, my first reaction was not to take any risks—this sound could be an early warning of brake issues. It usually indicates poor contact between the brake pads and discs, such as due to rust or excessive clearance. Ignoring it may lead to brake failure. I suggest turning off the engine immediately and not driving further, then contacting a nearby repair shop for towing and inspection. Don’t attempt to fix it yourself, as the complexity of the brake system can easily lead to misjudgment. Professional technicians will use equipment to diagnose whether any worn components need replacement. Safety comes first, especially when driving in urban areas—if the noise occurs frequently, a thorough inspection is essential.

I think dealing with the brake noise of the Haima M6 can be cost-effective if you handle it yourself initially. Common causes include rust due to water or oil contamination on the brake discs. I've tried using a high-pressure water gun to clean the wheels; or removing the wheels to manually brush the back of the brake pads to ensure no dust accumulation. If the noise comes from loose calipers, tightening the screws might solve the issue. For severe wear, buying aftermarket parts online for replacement can also save effort. However, long-term savings rely on regular maintenance, such as checking brake pad thickness every six months and wiping the disc surface dry after parking in the rain. Of course, persistent noise may require spending some money for repairs at a small shop—don't wait until major faults lead to expensive repair costs.

My Haima M6 makes abnormal noises when braking at startup, which I suspect is a minor issue with the friction system. For example, the brake pads may be too hard or not installed precisely, causing a screeching sound when pressed; or the brake discs may become damp and oxidized in rainy weather, generating noise. Considering the design of Haima models, abnormal noises are more frequent during the startup phase because the system activates from a stationary state. I recommend first checking the impact of weather conditions. If the issue occurs frequently, don't rely solely on pressing the brakes a few times to solve it. It's best to schedule a comprehensive diagnosis at a 4S shop, including measuring brake hydraulic pressure and ensuring the smooth movement of the calipers to prevent affecting overall braking performance. Additionally, paying attention to parking in dry environments can help reduce this problem.
