Why Does a New Car Make Noise When Braking?
1 Answers
There are several main reasons why a new car makes noise when braking: 1. The break-in period of the new car, during which the brake pads' break-in is a crucial part. Typically, after driving a few hundred kilometers, the braking will feel more comfortable. 2. Newly replaced brake pads also need a break-in period to better integrate with the old brake disc. Initially, the brake pads may feel very hard, and it usually takes a few hundred kilometers of driving before they feel better. 3. While driving, very small sand particles may get between the brake pads and the disc, sometimes causing noise due to friction. This situation generally does not require repair. 4. Missing or damaged fixing screws on the brake disc can also cause braking noise. 5. A malfunction in the braking system, which requires inspection and repair.
