My 2006 dodge charger srt8 is just under 2 years old, with 10,500 miles. My right rear brake rotor has a constant squealing when the vehicle is in motion. This noise has increased in both frequency as well as volume. *tr

The brakes on my 2006 dodge charger r/t have been squealing for the past three months, and they continue to squeal. I have taken my dodge charger to my local dealership three times for this issue and i have paid for my brake rotors to be resurfaced. I have more than 60% of brake pad life left. The dealership said that this issue is a manufacturer problem and a need for a recall is necessary. Please help. *tr

I own a 2006 dodge charger daytona r/t. She is driven very little and only has 5200 miles. The brakes have already started to develop a squeal at low speeds. It is my understanding that a large amount of other 2006+ chargers also have this issue.*jb updated 01-16-08. *kb

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

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…

Front driver's side brake rotor is grooved. Breaks squeal. Car only has 12000 miles. Yet brakes that are to last 50-10000 miles are already in danger of premature failure. Rotors needed to be replaced by manufacturer. A tsb identified it as a defect and not a recall. *ak

I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with 19,000 miles. At approx. 15,000 miles, i noticed the car shaking slightly when braking. 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…

Brake rotors warped....have been since about 20,000 miles. Brakes have been squealing longer than that. I understand that the upgraded chargers are being swapped out for slotted rotors because this is a known issue. I can't keep replacing parts on this car due to manufacturer defects. *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

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…

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
