  2. Brake pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

    Brake pads should be checked at least every 5,000 miles for excessive or uneven wear. Although brake pad wear is unique to each vehicle, it is generally recommended that brake pads be replaced every 50,000 miles, [ 6 ] while brake discs (or rotors) typically last longer, needing replacement every 70,000 miles.

  3. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    Other problems may be implicated in the case of older vehicles equipped with carburetors. Weak, disconnected, or mis-connected throttle return springs, worn shot-pump barrels, chafed cable housings, and cables which jump their tracks in the throttle-body crank can all cause similar acceleration problems.

  4. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Some disc brakes are drilled or slotted, but smooth discs show no more fade. Long dual-tire skid marks on highways, made by trucks with drum brakes, are visible examples of non-linearity between brake response and pedal pressure. Large trucks still use drum brakes because they are economical and fit easily where an equivalent disc brake does not.

  5. Disc brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_brake

    One problem with motorcycle disc brakes is that when a bike gets into a violent tank-slapper (high-speed oscillation of the front wheel) the brake pads in the calipers are forced away from the discs, so when the rider applies the brake lever, the caliper pistons push the pads towards the discs without actually making contact. The rider then ...

    The brake override system, also called "brake to idle" and already a common design in German cars, allows the driver to override the accelerator by hitting the brakes. In a follow-up statement, the NHTSA announced the November 25, 2009 recall details as a "vehicle-based remedy" to address the floor mat pedal issue. [64]

  7. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    The dynamic friction coefficient "μ" for most standard brake pads is usually in the range of 0.35 to 0.42. This means that a force of 1000 Newtons on the pad will give a resulting brake force close to 400 Newtons. There are some racing pads that have a very high μ of 0.55 to 0.62 with excellent high-temperature behaviour.
