1. My Wrangler isn't slowing down as quickly as it should. Is this a warning sign?
One of the top signs that your brakes may not be working the way they should be is a slow stopping response. Have you ever felt that your brakes were not slowing your Wrangler down as quickly as they should? Were they not responsive when you pressed down on them? This could be the result of a few different issues with the braking system. The first is that there could be a leak in the braking system, or there could be worn-down brake pads due to excessive braking over time. These are things that our certified technicians will check for you when you bring your Wrangler in for diagnostics. We'll make sure that we figure out the exact cause, and give you more information on next steps, such as replacing the brake pads, or fixing the leak.
2. Why is my Jeep Wrangler screeching every time I use the brakes?
There is almost nothing as annoying as having to deal with screeching brakes. This high-pitched noise is hard on the ears, and it's something that we have people frequently come to our service center with. The good news is, this is not an immediate concern! Your brakes are not about to give out at any moment. That means that while this is frustrating to deal with, you do have some time to spare. However, what this does tell our team is that your brake pads are getting thin, and it's time to schedule an appointment to have them replaced. So while you should bring your Wrangler in, this is not a serious problem, and you should still feel safe while driving.
3. What does it mean when my brake pedal is vibrating?
In normal circumstances, your Jeep Wrangler should be able to smoothly glide to a stop when you are applying pressure to the brakes. However, if you are beginning to notice some vibrations during this action, it could mean one of two things:
- Brake pads are worn out
- Rotors are damaged
In either case, this is your opportunity to schedule an appointment at our dealership so our team can officially diagnose exactly what is causing the vibration. You should never have to feel unsafe when driving your Wrangler, and we'll do whatever it takes to find the exact cause of this problem. Remember not to put off this kind of service for too long, especially if you are planning on going out on a longer trip than usual in the coming months.
4. My Wrangler's brakes are extremely sensitive. How do I get this problem fixed?
Another common concern that many of our customers have is when they start to feel like maybe their brakes are getting a touch too sensitive. We know how aggravating this can be, especially with how jerky sensitive brakes can tend to be. So, what does this mean for your Wrangler? The first issue this could be is uneven rotors, which will likely lead to rotor replacements to fix this problem. The other is that it's time to replace the brake fluid in the system, which will mean flushing out the current fluid so the new can be put in. No matter what, our team at Bedford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will be here to assist you, walk you through the process, and make sure you are getting the best deal possible.
