2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THE FAILURE WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE BRAKES SQUEAL/SCREECH EVERY TIME I BRAKE BETWEEN 0-50 MILES PER HOUR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 11,000 MILES AND IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS. THIS IS RUINING MY BRAKE ROTOR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND BOTH OF THE TIMES THEY SAID IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THAT WAS NO HELP AT ALL BECAUSE I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. *JB

BRAKES SQUEAL AT ALL SPEEDS WHEN APPLIED. PULSATING OR SHAKING WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGH SPEEDS. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MANY MILES AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DEALER WITH SAME STORY: BRAKES ARE METALLIC AND WILL SQUEAK FROM TIME TO TIME. *NM

BRAKES FADE RAPIDLY AND BRAKING POWER IS DECREASED AND BECOMES DANGEROUS EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. *NM

MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING SEVERELY SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE I BOUGHT IT AT, WHICH IS ALSO MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY. THIS WAS ALMOST 2000 MILES AGO AND THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO SQUEAK. I AM PART OF A ONLINE FORUM FOR CHARGERS (WWW.CHARGERFORUMS.COM) AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *NM

2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA TOP BANANA DEVELOPED GROOVES IN BRAKE ROTORS. AT 5600 MILES THERE IS SEVERE ROTOR GROOVING THAT RESULTED IN SEVERE BRAKE FADE THAT RESULTED IN THE CAR STRIKING A CURB SINCE THE BRAKES FAILED. *JB

2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T FRONT BRAKE ISSUE, AT 16,000 MILES ROTORS OUT OF ROUND, PADS SQUEAK. DEALER CUT ROTORS AND CHARGED 100.00 BRAKES STILL SQUEAKING AT 19.000 MILES SUSPECT A BAD COMPOUND MIX IN BRAKE PADS, MANY FELLOW CHARGER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AND DODGE WILL NOT SATISFY. *JB

MY BRAKES ON MY DODGE CHARGER SE WITH THE 3.5 L V6 HAVE BEEN SQUEALING. IT FIRST STARTED ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A INTERSECTION. AS I GETTING VERY CLOSE THE INTERSECTION I HEARD A SQUEALING LIKE A SCHOOL BUS, SO NATURALLY I ASSUMED IT WAS A OLDER VEHICLE WITH BAD BRAKES. I KEPT DRIVING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS WITH NO OTHER CARS PRESENT AND AGAIN WHEN I CAME TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN THE SQUEAL WAS PRESENT. I ONLY SEEMED TO GET THE SQUEAL WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. ALSO THE BRAKES SOMETIMES MAKE A MOANING SOUND ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU COME TO SLOW DOWN. GOOD EXAMPLE IS IF YOU ARE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PRESS THE GAS TOO MUCH, YOU NATURALLY PRESS THE BRAKE TO STOP AND THEN WILL EASE OFF OF IT. I GET THE MOANING SOUND GOING IN REVERSE MOTION AND FORWARD MOTION. I LET ME DEALER KNOW WHO SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PAST 12,000 AND THAT I WOULD SIMPLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THIS MAKES NO SENSE FOR A NEW CAR TO BE DOING THIS. *JB

2006 DODGE CHARGER SE BRAKES SQUEALING ON TURNS AND DURING STOPS. ROTORS SHOWING NO MACROSCOPIC SIGNS OF WEAR. SEVERAL OWNERS WITH SAME MODEL AS WELL AS UPGRADED MODELS, HAVE NOTICED SIMILAR SITUATIONS AT EXTREMELY LOW MILES. BRAKE RETURN SPRING IS ALSO MAKING NOISE WHEN PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED AND RETURNS TO ORIGINAL POSITION. *NM

BRAKE ROTORS ON MY CHARGER DAYTONE KEEP WARPING OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT DODGE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT STARTED HAPPENING AT 7K STILL ONGOING 6TH TRIP TO DEALER. *NM

FRONT BRAKES ARE REQUIRING A RESURFACE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 11,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP WILL ONLY COVER BRAKES FOR 12,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES LIKE THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. *NM
