Why Does the Car Make Strange Noises During Emergency Braking?
2 Answers
The reason for strange noises during emergency braking is: the sound produced when the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is activated. Precautions for car braking include: 1. Press the brake pedal gently, maintaining braking force, and adjust the pressure based on the speed of the vehicle ahead; 2. If the braking distance is sufficient, press the brake pedal slowly and continuously to achieve uniform deceleration; 3. As the car comes to a stop, gradually release the brake pedal until it is fully lifted when the vehicle is completely stationary. The impacts of emergency braking on a car are: 1. Increased fuel consumption; 2. Reduced tire lifespan and increased wear; 3. Shortened engine lifespan; 4. Reduced lifespan of the clutch system; 5. Decreased lifespan of brake pads and brake discs; 6. Accelerated aging of the brake caliper and master cylinder.
I've encountered the screeching sound during emergency braking several times, mostly due to excessively worn brake pads. During hard braking, the intense friction can cause piercing noises if the pads are too thin or contaminated with oil, grease, or trapped debris. If left unrepaired, braking distance will increase, potentially leading to accidents during rainy days or downhill driving. I once did a simple self-check by inspecting pad thickness, but it's best to visit a repair shop promptly for professional disassembly, cleaning, or replacement. Don't let minor issues escalate into costly repairs - driving safety should always come first. Developing regular maintenance habits can prevent such troubles, especially seasonal brake inspections for peace of mind.
