About 1 year ago as i was driving along interstate 95 the instrument needles all went to 0 or far left then went back to normal immediately. As time went on this occurred more frequently. About six months later as i was driving at night the needles dropped off and the head lights went off and stayed off until i switched from the auto position to the manual on position. The next time it happened i was at a stop light…

I have a dodge charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, i almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and i wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when i speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance i encounter bad weather,…

Brakes have locked up x3. Vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle. Had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong. Repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! Vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in…

At 12,500 miles took vehicle to dodge dealer complaining of the front brakes squealing. They told me the rotors were warped, probably from going though a puddle when they were hot, which i had not done. I had to pay to have the rotors turned. Still squealed. Ended up having to buy new rotors and pads for front. Now, the rear squeal so bad i am embarrassed to drive it. Will end up having to replace the rear brakes.…

Brakes: the charger r/t brakes only have 17k miles on them and the rotors need to be replaced. I complained to the dealer at 11k but was told that the shaking was normal. The dealers know about this problem with the rotors warping and refuse to extend the warranty past 12k miles. *tr

Repeated warping and squealing coming from brakes. Dealership turns the rotors to "fix" the issue till it is out of original 12,000 mile warranty for brakes. They will then no longer correct the issue without payment. There is no permanent fix. *tr

Charget r/t 5.7 l: starting at about 30,000 mi --severe (very scary) vibration and shake in front end and in steering wheel when braking at highway speeds. Does not occur at low speeds. Inspection of rotors/pads show no problems. Based on my research i believe to be a suspension defect. *cn

Took my srt 8 06 charger to the dealer 3-1-07 because brake rotors had grooves and pads were prematurely worn at 19,000 miles on all 4 wheels. District manager refused to offer a replacement at no cost. Dodge knows that this problem exists and there needs to be a recall.. Many complaints on the dodge forum too regarding this. *jb

I purchased a 2006 dodge charger in august of 2006. The first couple thousand miles i would hear my front brakes grinding, thinking it would go away i kept driving the vehicle. The grinding noise from my brakes continued to get worse so i took my vehicle to the dealership with 8000 miles on it. The dodge dealership told me the noise was normal but they would lube and clean the pads. That didn't help at all so i took…

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

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…
