Why is the brake pedal hard to press in winter?
1 Answers
The reasons why the brake pedal is hard to press in winter are: 1. The car's vacuum booster pump is leaking or malfunctioning; 2. The brake was pressed after the engine was turned off, which is related to the brake booster pump; 3. Lack of necessary maintenance on the brake system, resulting in too much debris in the brake master cylinder, poor sealing, or failure of the vacuum booster pump; 4. Improper operation leading to mechanical failure. Solutions for a hard brake pedal: 1. Restart the engine and try to press the brake pedal firmly again; 2. While driving, slow down to a stop and try pressing the pedal several times to restore braking; 3. If this situation is noticed before driving, the car can be directly sent to a repair shop.
