Why can't the Buick GL8 brake effectively during emergency braking?
1 Answers
ABS activates, but the vehicle still shows no significant braking effect, with a noticeably longer braking distance. The wheels do not lock up, ABS does not activate, and the vehicle rolls forward. For the first issue, the problem likely lies with the tires. The tires may be severely worn, with a low static friction coefficient, causing them to lock up too easily and triggering ABS prematurely, resulting in insufficient braking force and compromising safety. Below are more related details: Solutions: 1. Replace the tires. It is recommended to use tires of the same size for a significantly improved braking effect. For the second issue, the problem likely lies within the braking system itself. 2. If you hear obvious friction noises during braking, the brake pads may be severely worn and should be replaced immediately. If there is no noise, the issue may be with the brake pump, causing the brake pistons to malfunction. In this case, it is advised to quickly visit a repair shop to fix the brake assembly.
