Why can't the brake pedal of Geely Emgrand automatic transmission be pressed down?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand's brake pedal being hard to press or too heavy might be due to the need for brake fluid replacement or a malfunctioning vacuum booster, requiring prompt inspection and repair. Lack of brake fluid: Clean, high-quality brake fluid is fundamental to safety and the proper functioning of the brake system. Owners should always purchase the highest quality brake fluid available on the market. If the brake fluid is dirty, drain and flush the entire system, then refill the master cylinder with new fluid. Do not reuse brake fluid; all fluid drained from the system should be discarded. Brake system malfunction: If the brake fluid is consistently low over an extended period and the owner keeps adding more, it is clear that the car's brake system has a malfunction and needs to be inspected.
I've been driving on the road for over a decade and have encountered several instances where the brake pedal became as hard as a rock, especially in my automatic transmission Geely Emgrand. The main issue usually lies in the brake vacuum booster system; the booster pump relies on engine vacuum to function, and once there's a leak in the hose or the pump itself fails, the brakes become extremely difficult to press. Additionally, brake fluid leakage or insufficient levels can cause the hydraulic system to fail, increasing pedal pressure. I remember one time my own car had this issue due to aging vacuum hoses, and it nearly caused an accident, so now I check the brake fluid level and hose seals every six months. Automatic transmission vehicles have more sophisticated booster systems, and while the Geely Emgrand is a great car, worn components need timely replacement. Safety reminder: if you encounter this situation, pull over to a safe spot immediately, don't force driving, and calling a tow truck for repairs is the most reliable option. Preventive measures include having technicians inspect the booster pump and hydraulic lines during regular maintenance to avoid panic in emergencies.
