Feeling a rhythmic pulse through the brake pedal of your Zeekr 001? It’s usually a sign of warped brake discs, but let’s walk through the causes, what to check first, and if you can keep driving.
Why Does the Pedal Pulsate?
That rhythmic pulsing you feel – like the pedal is pushing back against your foot – almost always points to uneven brake disc surfaces. On the Zeekr 001, with its heavy battery pack and strong regenerative braking, the discs work hard. When they get too hot and then cool unevenly, high spots form. Each time the brake pad passes over them, you feel a vibration. It can also come from uneven pad deposits left on the rotor, or in rare cases, a sticking caliper or worn suspension components.
