DODGE JOURNEY

BRAKE REPAIR

The Dodge Journey's braking system includes standard four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability control (ESP), and electronic roll mitigation. Key components are brake pads, brake rotors, and brake calipers. Brake pads, which contact the rotors, are designed to wear down over time and may need replacement before rotors. Driving habits heavily influence how quickly brake parts wear out.

Key Brake Components and Their Function:

Brake Pads:

These are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors to slow the vehicle.

Brake Rotors:

These are the metal discs that the brake pads clamp onto, creating friction to slow the wheels.

Brake Calipers:

These house the brake pads and apply pressure to the rotors when the brakes are applied.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System):

Prevents the wheels from locking up during hard braking, helping the driver maintain steering control.

ESP (Electronic Stability Program):

Helps to prevent skidding and maintain vehicle stability during cornering or sudden maneuvers.

Electronic Roll Mitigation:

Helps to prevent rollovers by sensing potential instability and applying brakes to individual wheels.
