KnowRayJones Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hey Guys, I got under my 2011 Dodge Journey to change my oil and noticed this. Cars are not my forte by any means (I can change oil, brakes, and tires lol that’s about it) but I was hoping to see if anyone knew the name of this seemingly ripped part that’s underneath my vehicle and if it’s something that needs my attention ASAP. My ABS and brake lights have been coming on as of late but I chalked it up to some electrical issues I’ve been having that I can’t afford to fix at the moment. I’m unsure if this is contributing to it, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Hope to hear from someone soon! - RayRay P.S. I hope this is the right section, if not please let me know where to repost it! I don’t know what the hell this is man hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Exhaust hanger donut, cheap and not that critical compared to abs and brake lights. Check your brake fluid level first, if pedal is soft you will need to fix ASAP. Need to check for codes to see what problem is, probably abs wheel sensor needs changing. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge larryl and KnowRayJones 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 worn out brake pads as well can cause the brake light to come on,at least it did for my daughters caravan a few yrs ago, was the rear brakes causing low brake fluid due to the brake shoes wore out KnowRayJones and Armando G 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 As stated, thats an exhaust hanger. Nothing that would impact anything electrical. Check your brake fluid level and if it is low, inspect the brake pads, could be worn enough for the fluid level to drop to the point of triggering the brake light. Welcome to the forum.
