What are the dangers of not replacing the brake pads?

Failure to replace the brake pads for a long time will bring the following dangers:

Brake force decline: brake pads are an important part of the vehicle brake system, if not replaced for a long time, brake pads will wear, resulting in brake force decline. This will make the vehicle take longer distances to stop, increasing the risk of an accident.

Brake management internal air resistance: due to the wear and tear of the brake pads, the brake management internal air resistance may be generated, further affecting the brake performance, so that the brake response becomes dull, is not conducive to the emergency brake operation.

Brake line corrosion: not replacing the brake pads for a long time may also lead to corrosion of the brake line, which may cause leakage in the brake system, make the brake system fail, and seriously affect driving safety.

Damage to the internal valve of the anti-lock brake hydraulic assembly: A further consequence of brake line corrosion can lead to damage to the internal valve of the anti-lock brake hydraulic assembly, which will further weaken the performance of the brake system and increase the risk of accidents.

Brake transmission cannot be used: the transmission response of the brake system may be affected by the wear and tear of the brake pads, resulting in the brake pedal feeling insensitive or unresponsive, affecting the driver’s judgment and operation.

Tire “lock” risk: when the brake disc and brake pads wear to, continued use may lead to tire “lock”, which will not only aggravate the wear of the brake disc, seriously endanger driving safety.

Pump damage: Failure to replace the brake pads in time may also cause damage to the brake pump. When the brake disc and brake pad wear, the continued use of the pump will be subjected to excessive pressure, which may lead to damage, and the brake pump once damaged, can only replace the assembly, can not be repaired, increasing the maintenance cost.

Recommendation: Check the wear of brake pads and brake discs regularly, and replace them in time according to the degree of wear.
