VikingBattleram Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Ok so I'm working on a 2012 dodge journey with the 2.4L and it's FWD. Front calipers were seized solid rotors were warped and pads were worn out. Replaced it all bled the whole brake system definitely no air in the lines. But the front brakes are still overheating. I did notice the pedal was a bit stiff when bleeding them. Lines are not kinked and they don't see swollen. Rear calipers if I crack bleeder open and wait a few seconds fluid slowly comes out. The fronts don't. But when I press the pedal fluid does. I'm at the point we're I'm thinking defective calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 With the symptoms you describe, the most common fault is internally collapsed front brake hoses. A quick way to check is when the pads are binding up to crack open the bolt at the hose to caliper and see if the wheel then spins. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
