Why does the Geely Vision always brake automatically?
2 Answers
Geely Vision always brakes automatically due to a faulty brake caliper or a brake pedal that does not rebound. Below is a detailed explanation of the causes and solutions for this issue: Faulty Brake Caliper: The brake caliper has a deteriorated sealing ring, causing the piston stroke of the caliper to be uncertain, resulting in automatic braking while driving. Solution: Replace the brake caliper with a new one. Brake Pedal Not Rebounding: The brake pedal is stuck and cannot rebound normally after being pressed, leading to automatic braking. Solution: Check the operation of the brake pedal mechanism, lubricate it, or replace the components.
As an owner of a Geely Vision, I've personally experienced the issue of the automatic braking system frequently activating unnecessarily. Last week on the highway, it suddenly braked and slowed down when there was clearly no car in front, nearly causing an accident. The reason might be dirt on the front grille radar, where dust or insect remains could block the sensor, making the system mistakenly detect an obstacle. After I cleaned the sensor with a soft cloth, the situation improved somewhat. Another factor could be a software bug, especially in older models that require a firmware update. I recommend checking the radar area more often when parked and avoiding placing anything on it. If the problem persists, it's best to visit a 4S store for calibration promptly—don't compromise driving safety. Automatic braking is meant to protect us, but malfunctions can pose risks, so timely action is essential.
