Chrysler Repair: Brake pedal feels , brake hose, chry


Question
I have a 99 chry 300m. After i drive about 8 miles, the break pedal starts to get hard and when i am not giving it gas it will slow down to a complete stop. It does it more often when its hotter out. Help! And thanks

Answer
When that happens, stop and check the 4 wheels to see if one of them is overheated. Let me know if so.It could be you have a dragging brake or a worn out brake hose that is causing one of the calipers to become pressurized and the brake pad to drag at that wheel. That would cause the pedal to feel 'hard' when it tries to pressurize that brake line.
