Abstract: A deformation suppressing structure of a vehicle includes a dash panel separating a driving unit space for installing a weight component and a vehicle interior space for a passenger to ride, a brake component disposed inside the driving unit space and between the weight component and the dash panel to control a hydraulic pressure of a brake system, and a protecting member fixed to the dash panel and accommodating the brake component. The protecting member includes a guide surface configured such that a contact point at which the guide surface contacts the weight component changes during a backward movement of the weight component at the time of a collision of the vehicle, and a contacting portion arranged to contact the dash panel at a location above a fixing point at which the protecting member and the dash panel are fixed to each other and above the contact point.
