UPON BRAKING, I EXPERIENCE VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING. TOOK TO A DEALER WHO EXAMINED MY WHEELS AND DETERMINATION IS WARPED FRONT ROTORS. I HAVE 16, 000 MILES ON MY CAR AND WARPED ROTORS? SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED TO REPLACE ROTORS AT CONSUMER EXPENSE. I FEEL AS MANY OTHER DODGE CHARGER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. *JB

WE PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT BRAND NEW IN 4/2006. AT APPROXIMATELY 8000 MILES WE STARTED HEARING THE BRAKES SQUEAL. IT CAME AND WENT BUT AT 12K WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WE WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I KNEW THERE WAS A PRETTY BIG ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SQUEAL BECAUSE I HAD DONE MY RESEARCH. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS. THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND THAT SINCE ASBESTOS WAS OUTLAWED THAT ALL BRAKES ARE MADE WITH MORE METAL SO THEY WILL SQUEAK. YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT TRUE I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND THERE BRAKES DON'T SQUEAL. I WAS THEN TOLD MY WIFE DRIVES THE CAR TO PASSIVELY AND THE BRAKES ARE HEAVY DUTY AND THE CAR NEEDED TO BE "STOPPED MORE AGGRESSIVELY". I TRIED TO DO THE PANIC STOP THING BUT IT IS DANGEROUS AND OF COARSE IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. OUR LAST CONTACT WAS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, HAD NO RESOLUTION AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THEY DID. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. THIS HAS GOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU CANNOT RUN AROUND WITH YOUR BRAKES SQUEALING AND HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THERE IS NOT SOMETHING WRONG. CHRYLSER KNOWS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND I WANT TO LODGE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO CALL THE CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE AND COMPLAIN TO THEM. WHICH I WILL DO. HOWEVER WHAT HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY IF THE BRAKES FAIL. THE DEALER SHIP HAS KEPT ALL THE PARTS THEY REPLACED AND THE SERVICE RECORDS CAN BE RETRIEVED OF THE VIN. I HOPE THAT AT LEAST A RECORD OF THIS ISSUE IS BEING KEPT AND MAYBE IT IS TIME TO FORCE CHRYSLER INTO A RECALL AND PERMANENT REPAIR TO THE BRAKES. THANK YOU *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T USED, WITH ONLY APPROX. 4,500 MILES ON IT. AFTER DRIVING IT THE REMAINING PART OF THE WINTER (DEC THRU FEB) AND INTO THE WARMER MONTHS, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL WHEN I WOULD BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FROM UP TO 50 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD CONTACTED THE DEALERS SERVICE CENTER AND HAD THEM INSPECT THE BRAKES AND ALL I RECEIVED WAS THE EXPLANATION THAT THE BRAKES GLAZED OVER AND THE ONLY THING TO DO WOULD BE TO TURN THE ROTORS WHICH WOULD HAVE COST ME OVER $200. I WENT ELSEWHERE AND HAD THE FRONT ROTORS TURNED FOR LESS MONEY, HOWEVER, AFTER APPROX. 3 WEEKS THE SQUEAL CAME BACK. PRIOR TO OWNING THIS VEHICLE I OWNED A PONTIAC GRAND AM WHOSE BRAKES NEVER SQUEALED EVEN WHEN AFTERMARKET BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE PUT ON. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT A CAR OF THIS PRICE, WOULD NOT HAVE BRAKES THAT SQUEAL AFTER LESS THAN 7,000 TO 11,000 MILES BEING DRIVEN. *TR

HAD BRAKE TSB DONE IN SEPT. 06. MAYBE 3000 MILES ON CAR. DROVE MY CAR ON 7/12/07 AND HEARD SCREECHING FROM LEFT REAR BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO CONNEL IN OAKLAND, CA. I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT ALL OF MY ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR HAS 12,500 MILES ON IT. I'VE OWNED A 2004 HONDA ELEMENT AND STILL HASN'T REQUIRED BRAKE SERVICE. HOW DO REAR PADS WERA BEFORE FRONT PADS ON ANY VEHICLE? I HAD AN OIL CHANGE IN JUNE AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF BRAKE PROBLEM.

I OWN A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T THAT HAS A RECURRING BRAKE PROBLEM. THERE IS A NOTICEABLY LOUD SOUND COMING FROM AT LEAST 2 AND POSSIBLY ALL 4 WHEEL WELLS. WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED I HAVE INTERMITTENT SLIPPAGE BEFORE THE CAR SETTLES. AND FINALLY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE I RECEIVE OCCASIONAL SHUDDERING IN THE CAR. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THREE SEPARATE DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN THE DALLAS TEXAS AREA ON SEVEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND ON SIX OF THOSE TRIPS WAS INFORMED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ON MY FIFTH SERVICE TRIP A BRAKE JOB WAS PERFORMED, BUT HAS HAD NO EFFECT IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. ON THE SUBSEQUENT TWO TRIPS I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AT THE 11,000 MILE MARK AND HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE THEN (CURRENTLY AT 27,000 MILES). IF NOTHING IS DONE SOON, I FEEL THAT I WILL NEED TO UNNECESSARILY AND UNJUSTLY PURCHASE AN ENTIRELY NEW BRAKE SYSTEM FOR MY CAR TO ENSURE MY DRIVING SAFETY. *AK

I BOUGHT A DODGE CHARGER IN JUNE 2006 AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN SEPTEMBER. IT STARTED AS A VIBRATION WHICH NOBODY COULD IDENTIFY. I PAID TO HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED BECAUSE DODGE WOULD NOT COVER IT. THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW SITTING AT 16,000 MILES AND WARPED ROTORS WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY SAY I AM OVER THE 12,000 MILE BRAKE WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROTORS MYSELF. AS A COMPARISON I ALSO HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE. I PUT THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS ON THAT AT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT DODGE WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED! THANK YOU *TR

DURING A RECENT TRIP THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, FRONT WHEELS SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITH SLIGHT BRAKING WHEN DESCENDING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THE ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN HARD AND ROTORS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 15,000 MILES. DODGE WOULD NOT COVER ANY COST OF RESURFACING THE ROTORS. MECHANIC AT THE DEALER SAID DODGE OWNERS WERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON 2006 CHARGERS. *TR
