I hit a speed bump today going 25mph and now my brakes aren't quite working right. I need to push my pedal almost all the way to the floor to get my breaks to engage.
This happened immediately after the speed bump. Am I fucked? Car is a 2012 Dodge Challenger. Going to take it to a dodge dealership tomorrow morning.

Don't waste your money at the stealership, the brake pads are just out of line from the jolt. To reset them you just need a hard speed brake to snap them back in line. Get on the freeway and get her up past 90. Then stab the brakes as hard as you can and hold the throttle with the other foot. Do this until you feel the brakes snap back in place with a loud thunk. Make sure it's late at night though, so you don't get nipped.
Anons I am seriously ignorant about automobiles. pls help
If you take it to the dealership, chances are you're not gonna leave without finding out about $10,000 worth of other issues you never even knew the car had.
Take that shit to Brakeway or Auto Zone or local garage. Fuck Chrysler
Don't go to auto zone, those guys are fucking retarded
Go to pep boys, for real they're good with brake jobs and don't charge much
Oh fine I'll quite being snarky. Look up your cars engine bay in your vehicle handbook. Find out where the brake fluid reservoir is and check to see if it has any fluid in it. Sounds like you fucked a brake line and without fluid the brakes don't work.
Also consider this a wake up call that you rely on a very complicated piece of equipment and it's in your best interest to understand how that piece of equipment works, because you could get yourself and others killed through ignorance.
You may have got some air in the lines. Bleed it yourself faggot.
I just checked and the reservoir is filled almost to the top with a dark brown fluid. I think it may be likely that I got air in my brake lines. They could be described as squishy.
