Why do brake fail?

The car braking system is made of several parts like pads/shoes, the hydraulic lines, the air lines etc. When any of this parts is faulty or malfunctioning it can result in the failure of the whole system. To avoid this, proper maintenance of these parts must be ensured and done periodically. Always tell your mechanic to help watch out for these parts while servicing the car to avoid any fatal accident.

OVERHEATED BRAKE PADS

Squealing brakes is an indication of a problem with the brake system. Usually, a squealing noise is an indication that your brake pads are worn down and need to be replaced. Other causes can be overheated brake pads or rotors and sometimes rust can get impregnated on the brake lining material and cause grumbling or squeaking noises.

FLUID LEAKAGE

The major reason why brakes fail is as a result of fluid leakage, if there is a slow leak in the system it will effect the brake master cylinder by allowing air into the system creating a low peddle and eventual brake operation failure. If a large brake fluid leak is present, fluid escapes, leading to a major brake failure on one half of the system (front or rear). A master cylinder has a built in safety device, two separate hydraulic systems a primary and secondary, separating front and rear brake operation in case of front or rear brake operation failure, one system will still be present.

BRAKE FADE

We need to take care of brake fade too. It is another type of brake failure caused by overheating of the brake pads. It is common on poor material brake pads.

If you have a bad brake booster then it automatically follows that you’ll have problems with your brake pedal as well. A low brake pedal is usually a telltale sign that your brake power boost unit has gone badly. Most of today’s brake boosters are vacuum controlled. To check your brake booster you may need a vacuum measurement gadget that will be connected to the brake booster.

RUST

Attached to the cylinder master are the brake lines. The steel brake tubing is transcended to all the wheel of your vehicle. Rusts are the worst enemies of the brake lines. To avoid these and leaks, regularly inspect the linings. Replacement is the best course of action in case of damages.

DEFECTIVE HOSES

Running from the brake lines to the brake calipers as well as to the wheel cylinders are rubber brake hoses. It is advised to avoid their exposure to dirt, road grime, salt and other elements. These can make the rubber to become brittle and can produce crack. This will then lead to a failure in the brake system.

MOISTURE

As well, it is worth noting that brake failure can be caused by water in the brake fluid. When the fluid gets hot, the water will vaporize. This steam can be compressed unlike the water. However, instead of the braking effort being transmitted to the wheels, it is dissipated and the car will fail to brake. So it is important not to forget changing the brake fluid at given interval.

Wow! FTC is like morning coffee
Brakes fails also due to those witches and wizards in the village
Good morning y'all

kka

Over speeding sometimes and fluid leakage, plus your village people

make everythng dey correct other na only God dey save ....

Hit the next available car in your front and your car will stop automatically .....

unfortunately a wide range of brake pads sold in the Nigerian market are extremely substandard. many accidents that could have been avoided have been caused as a direct result of brake inefficiency. nice one op.

nice one

the best thing to do is, firstly, to take your foot off the accelerator (throttle) and secondly, attempt to use your parking brake (hand brake) to stop the vehicle by gradually applying it hence reducing the car's speed. needless to say, it is imperative to honk your horn all the while to alert people of the dangerous situation you are experiencing.

One major reason why brake fails is because your Village ppl don take your brake fluid to make Bonfire

When I hear brakes , this is what comes to my mind.

Because they dont read.

ops you dey correct, na so one woman him husband bought tokunbo car dat look like a new car d woman wan form big for us in our church "see the new car my husband just bought" everybody where like thanking God for the good thing He has done "thank God oh! praise God oh!". after the service wen the woman wan go she enter the car put the car for reverse the car zoom off just like dat as she was trying to hold brake the brake failed to hold na so everybody cum dey shout e bi like say d car no get brake but thank God e no injure anybody but d car cum damage well well for back wen she cum carry dere mecanic cum the mecanic cum discover dat the brake pad has bin bad and is seriuosly need to be change. so dat one na lesson to all whenever Your friends or love ones buy some things of that nature advice them about the brake pad whether good or bad that the brake pad need to be change.

Ok

Nice info! Though some rusty drivers won't even care to check the state of their car before driving

have i scammed you before?

Brakes fail due to the brake parts being weak, worn-out and old; they have to be replaced regularly by a mechanic.
