brakes

The brakes on my 2019 Kona Electric have been getting increasingly noisy. I figure that's due to a combination of living in the salt belt (northeast) along with not much brake use due to one pedal driving. Regardless, I ordered good quality pads and rotors off Amazon and swapped the fronts out...

I took my car in for the seasonal tire swap and requested annual brake maintenance (lube, clean, etc ) while the tires were off. They didn't do the work because my rear brakes are worn down to 1mm and now rotors and pads require replacement. I was not/am not happy. It seems to me that with...

Just got a "rear brake pad change" warning on my 2022 with 5,200 miles. We drive mostly using regen and very moderate ACC use. Regardless, seems way too early for something like this. First actual service (two years) is due in 9/23. Anyone else getting this message?

I didn't find this topic here but see it all over the internet. While driving on cruise control (not autopilot) between Seattle and Portland last week my car suddenly and inexplicably braked (is that a word?)! The first time it happened we were on a highway, going about 40mph. We were in a...

I sent this message to Hyundai today: "I am requesting compensation for the inconvenience of multiple recalls/inspections/updates. This morning I brought in my 2019 Kona for its 3rd recall inspection/update. I have owned it for 17 months. For the first two recall inspections, I had to...

All: Having obtained some Clarity PID's, and getting set up with Car Scanner, here is an example of something very cool that we can now do: (see this thread for more of the how: https://www.insideevsforum.com/community/index.php?threads/budget-battery-capacity-readout.10531/) Many have been...

So, first maintenance is underway (24k km). I know from the book that everything is to be inspected and the cabin filter replaced if necessary. They want $60 for the filter (outrageous, of course) and they want to do a brake service for $200. I'm peeved about this as one of the advantages of an...

We all know EVs require practically no real regular maintenance but perhaps there is one area where it pays to perform some maintenance and ideally, doing it ourselves, is the braking system: disassembling the brake pads, cleaning and lubricating the slider pins, and this at least once a year...

I had noticed a limitation in the regen in the past when getting off the highway, that it wouldn't go to 4 chevrons above ~55 mph. It would blink and drop to 3 chevrons. Once I slowed below that speed the 4th chevron would stay. But I found a few days ago in ECON mode (no engine use, EV only)...

OK, I know we have a fantastic braking system that seemlessly blends regen with friction on all 4 disc brakes. I think Honda does this better than anyone. You can’t even feel it in the pedal when it apportions between the two. My question is more technical. How do we get power brakes when...

So far I love the Clarity plug in!! I have noticed that each time I go to press the brake pedal I hear a slight click. It's always only one click with each press. Does anyone else have this issue?

I rear-ended into a Camry last Saturday. Adaptive cruise control was on, but I was also fully participating. ACC was working all fine, decelerating correctly until a few seconds before the accident. I realized something wrong, kicked the brake to the end, but felt little deceleration at all...

I know some people have been asking what disservice are we doing to our engines by not running them frequently (I do fire up about once per week) but let's save that for another thread. I'm already having a brake issue though with just over 2 months and 2500 miles on the clock... I had a...
