In 2011, the Jeep Grand Cherokee requires DOT 4 brake fluid. Without brake fluid, your brakes won't function properly as it operates on a hydraulic system. The brake pressure moves fluid to the brakes, enabling the pads to press against the rotor (known as disc brakes due to their disc-like appearance). Rotors are connected to the wheel hubs and rotate as the wheels move. Increased pressure slows down the car - without fluid, there's no pressure. While there's an emergency brake, it's usually not strong enough for urgent stops. Detecting a brake fluid leak is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. You should promptly address the leak and avoid driving the vehicle until it's fixed.
