Recently, many car owners have reported on the complaint platform that Chery small ants brake failure. From the reflected problems, the main feedback problems are brake system, brake hardening, brake failure, abnormal sound, fault light on and so on.

Some car owners said on the complaint platform that they bought cars in April 2022. The whine of the motor as it travels, like an airplane taking off. The sound is very sharp, and the whole vehicle shakes obviously, and the brake pedal cannot be stepped on and makes abnormal noise, the abnormal noise of the main and co-driver windows, the abnormal noise of the air conditioner compressor, etc. Some owners said: brake failure, speed 50 yards per hour, distance from the front car 100m, ESP light on, brake no response, direct rear-end collision. More owners pointed out that eQ1 brakes have repeatedly appeared brake failure problems. There was a complete loss of braking and repeated braking to restore braking. After that, I went to the 4s shop for maintenance and replaced the brake pump. On June 15,2021, brake failure occurred again, completely unable to brake, catch up with the front car. In addition, there are car owners showing pictures of accidents caused by vehicle brake failure.

According to the situation reflected by the owners, Chery manufacturers also replied online: After receiving the customer information fed back by your network, our company attaches great importance to it: according to the feedback from our Zhengzhou Zhonghai Fujie 4S shop: the vehicle has been repaired. Division I will continue to do a good job of tracking the car service, to provide customers with thoughtful after-sales service and protection. At the same time, I am very grateful to customers for their attention and support to Chery New Energy Vehicles. I sincerely wish you a happy life and smooth work!

In fact, regarding Chery eQ1 brake failure event, as early as 2019, there was a Hangzhou Ms. Yu reported to the media that she spent 67,800 yuan to buy Chery EQ1 small ant new energy vehicle brake failure three times, which means 4S shop technician test also found brake failure phenomenon, but can not find out what the problem is. Subsequently, Chery New Energy also issued a relevant statement on this matter, saying that through the analysis of the data of the national new energy vehicle monitoring T platform, the braking force of the vehicle was 0 before the accident, and the customer did not take braking measures. In addition, it is pointed out that after on-site inspection of vehicle braking system by engineers and verification of emergency braking on real roads for many times, the vehicle does not have any braking problems and the vehicle braking is normal. In addition, the accident occurred to the owner: due to the emergency braking of the vehicle in front, the accident vehicle is too close to the vehicle, the owner in an emergency situation, due to temporary tension, did not have time to brake caused by rear-end collision events. After communication, this conclusion has been agreed by the party concerned, Ms. Yu.

It should be noted that, in June this year, Chery issued a recall statement to the outside world, some vehicles brake master cylinder internal parts production process protection is not standard, resulting in brake master cylinder piston due to collision damage, extreme cases may cause braking efficiency reduction, braking distance becomes longer, there are potential safety hazards.
