[threx666]

hi guys,

tanong lang po kung nangyari sa inyo na mawalan ng brake habang tumatakbo?

any idea how to bring the car to a safe stop ?

release the gas pedal.

pull up the parking brake as high as it will go.

put the car in 2nd gear and kiskisin ang clutch para gumana ang engine brake.

if automatic... put the car in neutral or if you have +/- tiptronic, in 1st gear.

[userfriendly]

you can also try pumping the brake pedal.

All of the above.

Yup. E-Brake and engine brake are your best bests in case of catastrophic failure ng regular brakes. I've never had a need to resort to it, thank God. Pero I practice it in my head once in a while.

Kung mabilis ang takbo, Engine Brake muna, go down the gears one by one till 1st gear is reached. If slow enough, use the hand brake. Using the hand brake during high speed is not advisable IMHO.

Try decelarting until you reach 1st gear. If all else fails, look for the cheapest item/area na pwede mong banggain to come to a full stop hehehe

Won't pulling the E brake as high as it can go promote the rear end to slide out and possibly your car to spin? I think control via steering input is also critical to stop the car properly as much as one can control the car.

ewwww, don't wanna think about it.pero magkaganon man, engine break is my possible option followed by hand brake and lastly, yong ibubunggo.

experienced this last year while i was traveling along katipunan. bigla nawalan ng preno yung crv ko. was cruising at about 40-50kph then. i just pumped my brakes again and again and thank God, bumalik siya.
