In recent years, the problem of electric vehicle brake failure has occurred frequently, why is the brakes of electric vehicles more likely to fail? In fact, whether it is a fuel vehicle or an electric vehicle, the principle of the brake system is similar, and the brake failure may be related to the failure of the brake system and the ground conditions.
A man in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, Mr. Li bought a Xiaopeng P7 in a local 4S store, Mr. Li's car was bought in September 2021, after buying the car has been driving well, on March 17 this year, Mr. Li drove to a basement parking lot to park, and suddenly the brake failure problem appeared.
According to Mr. Li's recollection, he drove in the underground garage to find a parking space, when there were many pedestrians in the underground parking lot, Mr. Li stepped on the brakes to avoid the lady in front, but the brakes did not respond to the end, and his impression was that the car did not slow down at all.
Just as the car was about to hit a pedestrian, the woman may have noticed something strange behind her, and she stepped forward, but the wheel still hit the woman's foot. Finally, the car finally stopped, Mr. Li got out of the car to check that the woman's injury was not serious, let her go to the hospital for examination, and also paid the other party 150 yuan.
This accident made Mr. Li have a lingering feeling, the brakes were stepped on to the end, why can't the car stop? Mr. Li called up the driving recorder of the day, and the driving recorder screen showed that Mr. Li was driving normally in a flat garage, when the speed was about 18, and a pedestrian suddenly appeared in front of the vehicle during the straight-forward process, and Mr. Li stepped on the brakes.
After braking, the dashcam shows that the speed has dropped to 0, but the vehicle is still moving forward. The dashcam showed that Mr. Lee had braked for at least 4 seconds, but the car did not brake at all. Mr. Li suspected that the brakes were failing and drove the car to the 4S shop for inspection.
The after-sales department inspected the brake system and gave the explanation that there was no problem with the brake system, and at that time the vehicle could not be braked because the ground was too slippery, which triggered the abs anti-lock braking system to start. The staff checked the background data without problems, checked the car condition again, and finally let Mr. Li drive the car away.
Mr. Li said that now that he has a psychological shadow, he does not dare to continue to open. Mr. Li bought a car for more than 6 months has never encountered a similar situation, this time Mr. Li stepped on the brakes for 4 seconds, the car or slid forward for more than ten meters, in case of driving in the process of driving in the future and then encounter the problem of brake failure, what to do?
The staff of the 4S shop let Mr. Li test drive in the 4S shop, as long as there was a problem with the brake system, he would solve it, and Mr. Li drove in the 4S shop for a period of time and the brakes have returned to normal. Finally, the 4S store responded to the incident in writing, according to the on-site surveillance video road conditions and vehicle driving conditions analysis, the vehicle was driving on the waterlogged road, and the ground was wet and slippery.
After the customer brakes on the brake, the wet slippery ground triggers abs to intervene, so the phenomenon that the car cannot be braked will occur. 4S shop after testing can not get any vehicle has insufficient braking quality problems, so it can not meet the owner's compensation claims, if the owner is not satisfied with this result, you can also seek a third-party testing agency to test the brake system.
Xiaobian believes that Mr. Li was driving on the epoxy road of the basement at that time, and there was indeed an acceleration action, and the wet and slippery ground may indeed lead to the inability to brake the car. In recent years, many vehicles are prone to brake failure when driving on epoxy roads, and I hope that everyone will reduce their speed and drive cautiously when driving on such roads.
