hope they really do a good job and finds out any problem with your brakes system.
naayos na ba at ano findings sa slipping backwards when footbrake is applied?
Mahina talaga ang foot brake. Dati ginagawa ko yan pag walang preno ung bisekleta ko eh. Since nun puro RAMBO na tsinelas ang binibili ko.
Juz kidding! Wag ka maniwala sa mekaniko na dahil sa weight ng car kaya nag sslide ung car pag nagffoot brake ka. Eh yun ngang mga Heavy Cargo na dinadala namin sa Mountain Province paakyat, pag nabibitin ung sasakyan ni hindi gumagamit ung mga driver ng handbrake pero steady pa din ung sasakyan. Tama ginawa mo, file a complaint para mapabilis ung serbisyo ng casa. Pag ganyang madaming dahilan ung mga mekaniko, ibig sabihin ayaw nila i-priority ung case mo kc walang kikitain ung company dahil covered pa cia ng warranty/insurance.
sabi nila normal daw yun.. kasi kumakapit naman pag hindi masyadong steep. wala silang ginawa. balak ko pa-check din sa ibang casa. by the way, parking brake yung nirerefer ko ha, and hindi yung brake na nasa gitna. yung parking/emergency brake kasi ng CR-V 2013 paa ang gamit hindi siya handbrake.
File a formal complaint with them and with the DTI. That is not supposed to be the case. Don't bother getting another company to service your car. My family has always had vehicles that uses foot brakes and we have never had a similar problem. Your problem is also of great concern to me since we are waiting for a new CR-V too.
By the way, is your model from Japan?
wala naman handbrake ang mga heavy cargo sir parking brake meron sila katumbas ng preno nila kaya hindi talaga aatras un. tama ang mekaniko isang factor ang weight ng sasakyan. pansinin niyo mga cargo truck kahit na naka parking brake sila na katumbas ng preno nila naglalagay parin sila ng chuck o kalso sa gulong. (Brake po ng mga heavy trucks at bus ay actuated by air pati ung parking brake nila ay air din ang gamit) pansinin nyu mga bus pag nagprepreno lagi may hangin kayo naririnig kada release nila ng pagkakatapak sa preno.
sa problema ni ts. ang handbrake o footbrake cable lang yan na hihilain mo ung lever para mahila ung cable connectado sa brake shoe (note diretso sa brake shoe hindi dumaan sa wheel cylinder ng preno) or minsan nasa transmission ung connection ng handbrake.
Ang handbrake Walang hydrovac eh pag tumapak po kayo sa preno o ung brake talaga ng sasakyan ung pressure sa linya ng preno sa pagkakalalam ko eh umaabot ng 700++ psi yan ah. kung kaya niyo hilain ung handbreak niyo sa ganyan equivalent na pressure sure na hindi aatras kotse mo.
regarding sa mga drifter anu ba kayo modified po mga handbreak nun kaya ganun kalalakas ang handbrake nila for drifting.
Ganito yung montero pag nakabitin sa ramps pa exit sa basement ng makati cinema square. Kailangan sagad pull sa hand break lever at dahan dahan pag release ng break pedal para di mag slip pa atras.
So normal ba talaga or hindi? Akala ko normal dahil mabigat nga and by design mahina talaga kapit ng handbreaks more so kung pa atras.
foot parking brakes and hand parking brakes are the same, iba lang ang activation. the brakes themselves are the same (drum type), only the lever is different. one is pushed by the foot, the other is pulled by hand.
di lang sa crv yan. pati sa santa fe saka sorento true yan. but in the case of the santa fe and sorento mahina siya forward (i.e., vehicle is on a downward incline) as compared to reverse (vehicle is on an uphill incline). so mas kumakapit siya pag paatras kesa paabaante. now in the crv, as the ts said, malakas ang brake sa forward pero mahina sa reverse. nasa design yan ng brake drum kung mas malakas sa forward o sa reverse. obviously the designers of honda envisioned their foot parking brakes as an emergency brake also, something that can be used to help stop the car when the main brakes fail (emphasis on the word "help"). on the other hand hyundai/kia designed it only as a parking brake that is why the foot brakes have lesser stopping force when on a downhill. that is the reason why on my previous sta fe and present sorento i can move the car forward with the brakes on but can not move it in reverse (meaning with the parking brakes on the car will move when in D but not when in R). it is also the reason why i had to have the brake adjusted myself on the santa fe (since hyundai casa did not want to adjust it). so as you see this problem is not exclusive to your crv. on my previous sta fe, before the adjustment, the car just can not hold its position on a steep downhill unless i put the shifter in park. on the sorento it is acceptable so i have not done any adjustment on it.
adjustment is simple. before starting, remember we are talking about the parking brake here, not the main brake. the parking brake on vehicles equipped with disk brakes are small drum type brakes. have the car raised (or go under the car), find the cable running from both left and right rear parking brakes and you will find they are both connected to a single cable connected to the parking foot brake lever (or hand brake as the case may be). there will be an adjustment turnbuckle or adjustment screw connected to the single cable (depends on the design). loosen the lock nut, then tighten the adjusting nut (meaning turn it so the cable shortens). now this is a trial and error adjustment, so you may need to adjust several times until you are satisfied. make the adjustments in small increments, one turn at a time in between testing. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER TIGHTEN AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE BRAKE TO LOCK UP AND OVERHEAT. to test if it is locked, with the vehicle raised, turn the rear wheels by hand with the brakes released and the shifter in neutral. it should be free. remember to tighten the lock nut after final adjustment is made.
on vehicles not equipped with disk brakes the main drum brake is also the parking brake. adjustment is the same procedure as above.
