However, if routine car care has slipped your mind for quite some time, you might want to pay attention and watch for the following brake issues.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, an illuminated brake dashboard light, or a sensation that things aren't like they used to be. You know your Dodge Intrepid better than anyone else. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! Vehicle manufacturers like Dodge generally recommend that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12,000 miles or 12 months.

Dodge Intrepid Brakes Questions

  • What is causing my Intrepid to shake when I brake? Feeling shaking or vibrating in your Intrepid as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.
  • How many brake pads does my Intrepid come with? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your Intrepid put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • How often do I need to replace my Intrepid brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your Intrepid brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Intrepid is off? Your Intrepid brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.
