Why does the automatic transmission make noise when releasing the foot brake at startup?
1 Answers
There are several reasons for the abnormal noise when releasing the brake during automatic transmission startup: 1. Slow brake release: This noise is mainly caused by releasing the brake too slowly during startup, which is a common issue for many automatic transmission car owners. When the brake pedal is released gradually, the engine already has sufficient power to drive the car forward, but the brake is not fully released. As a result, the moving wheels are restrained by the brake system, naturally causing abnormal noise. So next time, remember to release the brake faster. 2. Brake disc and brake pad sticking together due to rust: This usually happens after driving in rainy weather and then leaving the car unused for several days. The brake disc and brake pad rust and stick together, causing abnormal noise when starting the car again. This can be resolved by applying butter or special lubricating oil to the connection between the brake pad and brake caliper at a repair shop. 3. Metal noise: Many brake pads nowadays are made of semi-metallic materials, containing a large number of metal fibers. Sometimes, metal particles form, producing a harsh sound when stepping on or releasing the brake. This condition usually disappears after driving for a while. If it persists, it may be due to poor manufacturing quality, and it is recommended to replace the brake pads promptly to avoid scratching the brake disc.
