Brake issue: I've seen many people switch to CRV's dual-piston setup and wanted to try it myself. But after the change, the play got even bigger, and it's softer than the original. The first half of the pedal travel almost has no effect. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

At extremely low speeds, there's a crisp sound from the relay contact when kinetic energy recovery engages. In creep mode, it occurs just when the brake is applied during low-speed crawling. Without creep mode, it happens when you release the accelerator at low speeds. It's just one crisp sound, coming from near or in front of the pedal. The sound is very faint, and can't be heard with the windows open, music playing, or on a bumpy road. This is with the first launch of the dual-motor. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and can it be fixed?
In the 2019 JETOUR X90 Enjoy Edition 6-seater with a 6DCT dry dual-clutch transmission, currently at 120,000 kilometers, an issue has been occurring since around 90,000 kilometers. When starting the car cold, everything is normal during acceleration. However, after driving for about half an hour and the engine warms up, when stopping or waiting at a traffic light and then trying to accelerate again, the car doesn't respond to the throttle. If you press the throttle harder, the engine stalls. When you feel the engine shake while pressing the throttle, if you release the pedal immediately and then press it again, the car can start moving, and everything works normally after that. There are no fault codes detected by the computer, and the spark plugs have been replaced. The engine checks out normal at the 4S shop. I'm seeking advice from experts on how to resolve this issue or if any fellow JETOUR X90 owners have experienced a similar problem and how they got it fixed. Thank you very much for your help!
Since this is our first family car, we decided to go with a petrol vehicle that’s suitable for both city driving and long trips. After trying out and comparing many cars — Korean, Japanese, and even some Chinese hybrids — we finally chose the 2025 Changan Eado High-Energy Edition. Honestly, the first thing that made me choose it was the design — I really liked how the car looks, and the color matched my personal taste perfectly. The second reason was the engine — the 1.5L turbo is more than enough for highway driving. Even though it's a small engine, it delivers excellent power on the road, and at the same time, it’s fuel-efficient in the city — unlike a 2.0L that would consume more. The third and most important reason was the price — I see it as an excellent deal. I ended up with a good-looking car that’s packed with features. As for daily use, both my wife and I are new drivers, so having 360° cameras was a huge plus — it helped us a lot with parking and narrow roads. Honestly, without them, we wouldn’t have dared to enter many places. The car's performance is solid, acceleration is great, and just a slight push on the gas gets it moving quickly. The space is also impressive — three people can sit comfortably in the back, and the trunk has enough room for travel and groceries when we return from family visits. The smart features are also really helpful — I can use voice commands to control the A/C, start navigation, or play music without taking my hands off the steering wheel. On top of that, the car has a built-in dashcam that records continuously. Just insert a memory card and it overwrites old footage automatically. Exporting videos is easy too. In short, for around AED 70,000, I got a car that meets all my needs and protects me from the heat and the rain. It’s been an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a practical and affordable car.
4I’ve had this car for six years now. I haven’t driven it much—total mileage is around 90,000 km—because I don’t travel long distances with it. My workplace is close to home, so there aren’t many long trips. In terms of fuel consumption? It’s amazing. It averages about 5.8L per 100 km, so when I put in 100 EGP worth of fuel, I can go a long way. That’s one of the main reasons I’ve held on to it. In the first year, I used to do maintenance every 3 months, but I noticed the oil was still clean as if just changed, so I switched to every 6 months. Now, I do it once a year and everything’s going just fine. What bothers me is that the car doesn’t look stylish. It’s a bit cramped, and honestly, it feels kind of like a microbus—that’s the biggest thing that keeps me from being fully comfortable with it. Plus, the dashboard is all hard plastic with basic design. But since I got the slightly higher trim, it does have push-button start, keyless entry, and parking sensors. When it comes to driving, the car needs a gentle touch. You have to press the gas pedal softly to get it moving smoothly. I tried pushing it to 130 km/h once, and it started to feel shaky. The cabin gets noisy, but I just play music and it’s manageable. The suspension isn’t super soft—you do feel the bumps, but they’re not harsh. In summary: it’s a highly economical car. Fuel consumption is low, spare parts are affordable, and the engine is still in great condition. If only it were a bit more spacious and had a better design, it would’ve been perfect.
