In the 10th generation Dongfeng Honda Civic, brake noise can be caused by a variety of factors including hard brake pads, uneven wear on brake pads, severe wear on brake discs or hubs, rust on the brake cylinder, malfunctioning handbrake cable, and slow return of the master brake cylinder.
When a screaming sound occurs, the first step is to check if the brake pads are nearing the end of their life (indicated by a warning sound). If the pads are new, check for any foreign objects between the brake disc and the brake disc.
A dull sound is usually indicative of issues with the brake caliper, such as worn guide pins or a dislodged spring plate. A high-pitched sound, on the other hand, can point to several issues including problems with the caliper, brake disc, and brake pads.
If the noise persists, the first thing to check is the brake resistance. Poor caliper reset can cause long-term friction between the brake discs, generating abnormal noise under specific conditions. Additionally, check for foreign objects between the discs. If new pads are installed, ensure the brake discs have been grooved appropriately, as local friction can produce abnormal noise. If the discs are fine, consider whether the brake shims are too hard or if the muffler is incorrectly installed.
The new Civic has also undergone a significant upgrade in interior design, featuring a range of advanced safety configurations such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane departure and maintenance assistance, and active braking systems, making it safer compared to its competitors.
