2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA, FRONT BRAKES STARTED RUBBING AT ABOUT 8000 MILES, WAS TOLD THATS NORMAL. BRAKE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO 22,000 MILES AND NOW THE ROTORS ARE BADLY GROOVED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS FRONT BRAKE PADS. WARRANTY PERIOD FOR BRAKES IS 12,000 MILES (I FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS A WEAR PART). DEALERSHIP HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THE BRAKES ARE PAST THEIR WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHIL WITHIN WARRANTY AND WAS NOT REPAIRED, AND NOW THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE ROTORS ARE REPLACED/TURNED AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED.

WARPED FRONT ROTORS AFTER BUYING CAR AND PERSONALLY PLACING LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BRAKE ROTORS ARE GLAZED AND BRAKES SQUEALED AFTER ABOUT 11,000 MILES, PAD THICKNESS 65% REMAINING. BRAKING DISTANCES ARE DRAMTICALLY INCREASED AS A RESULT OF THE GLAZED ROTORS. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY INTO A DITCH, CAUSING $1500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE HAND BRAKE WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. ON EACH OCCASION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE GROUND WAS WET FROM MELTING SNOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 21,155 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
