The Importance of Brake Service

Driving in summer conditions can put stress on your vehicle. Extra heat and lots of pollen make driving in the summer different than other seasons. One important area of summer car maintenance for your car is the brake system. To ensure that your brakes are working as they should, bring your vehicle to the Champion Dodge California service center.

The Most Common Brake Issues

If you begin to have brake problems, chances are you’ll feel it. Braking is such a necessary part of driving, it would be hard not to. Here are some of the things to look out for:

• Soft pedals that stick to the floor: this could be the result of a loss of pressure on the system, a leak in the brake lines, or air bubbles in the line
• Squealing while stopping: this specific sound usually happens when brake pads are not installed properly.
• Not stopping unless you pump the brakes: if this occurs, it’s probably a good idea to not drive it until you’ve had your local Dodge service center check it out
• Squeaky brakes: if you are hearing this kind of noise, the culprit most likely is the brake pads, which should be replaced; a normal brake has a swishing or grinding noise
• Jerking steering wheel when braking: this could be a sign of a warped rotor
