Sounds horrible. The car has been eating through brake pads since I got it. I work for an auto parts store and it seems like all my pay checks are spent on brakes and other repairs on this vehicle. It sounds horrible through stops.
The brakes were literally as loud as a city bus when stopping. Actual braking and stopping distance didn't seem to be affected, but it was quite embarrassing and completely unacceptable for a car with only 24,000 KM on it. Of course Dodge told me that brakes are "wear items" and only covered for 20,000 KM. I would have to pay for the car to be looked at and fixed. Upon inspection, I was informed by the dealership that the brakes still had 60% left on the front and 80% on the back. When I pointed out that this meant we were no longer dealing with a "wear item", and that it must be a poor part or design, I was told that these brakes require "regular maintenance". Regular maintenance on brakes after 24,000 KM?!?! As usual, North American car manufacturers refuse to stand behind their vehicles. This is it; I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT.
