2007 Dodge Nitro Brakes Problems

“Replaced my brakes and rotors and had them bled. Ever since, the brake goes down close to the floor to take effect. Also makes a popping noise in the middle lower console when the brake is applied.

In a few cases my brakes have failed to engage at all requiring me to swerve out of traffic lanes in order to avoid causing a wreck. …”

I then noticed that I could slowly stop when I pressed the brake pedal all the way down. …”
