    The rear brake pads do not sweep the entire surface of the rear rotors. Nearly 25% of the rear rotor is not in contact with the rear brake pads. This diminishes braking force and makes the rear rotor incompatible with currently available replacement pads. This defect is visually apparent when the car is stationary. It also impacts the vehicles ability to come to a stop while in motion. I suspect that the wrong parts…

    I have the 2019 dodge scat pack, base model, no options. It comes with the 4-piston brembo calipers on the rear wheels. The factory brake pad only contacts a little over half of the rotor. This is on both rear wheels, inside and outside surface. This easily reduces braking force by half; much more when the car is fully loaded. The pads do not look damaged, just an obvious defect (see pictures compared to replacement…
