Dodge Hornet Brakes Specifications
Standard Hornet brakes are scaled for the compact crossover, but the Track Pack option adds Brembo front brakes for serious performance. PHEV variants use regenerative braking to extend pad life. Our team handles routine brake service plus Brembo hardware.

Brake Care Tips for Your Dodge Hornet
- Track Pack Brembo pads require OEM-spec replacements only.
- PHEV regenerative braking extends pad life significantly — many R/T owners get 60,000+ miles.
- Inspect brake pads every oil change — compact SUV brakes typically last 35,000-50,000 miles.
- Listen for grinding or pulsation under braking.
- Brake fluid flush every 3 years (2 years if you have Track Pack and drive hard).
