Your brake system is essential to keeping you safe on the road, and any issues should be addressed as soon as they rear their head. August is Brake Safety Awareness Month, making this an excellent opportunity for Chrysler service at Hunt Chrysler Center to ensure your vehicle is up to the task of protecting its passengers.
Do I Need a Check-Up?
Regarding safety, your brakes are one of the most essential systems in your vehicle. If your brake light indicates a potential problem, don’t delay coming in for a tune-up.
Likewise, if you notice unusual sights, sounds, or other unusual activity while applying the brakes, from squealing or grinding noises to visible smoke or smells, that’s another reminder to schedule service. Finally, checking your brakes out is a priority if you notice any performance issues, including slowness in coming to a stop, vibration, or other feedback in your steering wheel.
Essential Brake Maintenance
Brake problems can develop in several places, from the obvious and easily fixed to more complex repairs. Brake pads naturally wear out over time, as do rotors; both need to be replaced around every 30,000 miles or whenever an issue develops. Your brake fluid may be low, or your lines may be clogged by dirt and other contaminants. Sometimes less likely causes like the master cylinder or wheel alignment can contribute to braking issues, so we’ll check those to ensure that everything is running as it should.
