NHTSA Complaint #10349427 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

DISK BRAKE NOISE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND HAVE HAD FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, MOSTLY INB THE FRONT AXEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS AT LEAST 2 TIMES I BELIEVE, AND RECENTLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, I CHANGED THE FRONT PADS AGAIN TO TRY TO GET RID OF THE SQUEALING NOISE. I HAVE PURCHASED OEM BRAKES AND ROTORS FROM THE DEALER, AND LAST TIME I REPLACED THEM, I USED A BRAND FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. IT SEEMS THAT I THE BRAKES STAY QUIET FOR A LITTLE WHILE AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND SERVICES, BUT SOON START RETURNING TO MAKING A HORRIBLE SQUEALING NOISE ANYTIME THE BRAKES ARE USED. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS FOR THIS AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, AND READING UP ON THE MANUFACTURES WEB FORUMS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME. I FEEL THERE MUST BE A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO CORRECT THIS TYPE OF CHRONIC PROBLEM. *TR
