I own a 2006 Charger R/T. purchased on 12/26/2007. I currently have 3200 miles on the car and for the last 500 miles the front driver's side rotors were squealing. Seeing that there were so many owners with the same issue I will be calling the dealer in the morning to schedule this to be resolved.
Brakes are shuttering when coming to a stop. Brake rotors and pads where getting worn down and squealing before the one year/12K miles and dealer would not fix.
Me myself had problems out of my front rotors I had a lot of vibration in my steering wheel when I went to brake and had to switch to high performance drilled slotted rotors.

I was driving my car and the brakes have had a slight noise to them. Not so much a squeak. Now today while driving I pushed my brakes pedal down and it pushed back. I asked a mechanic at my job. I work for fedex and he told me that the rotors needed to be turned.
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.

I purchased a new Dodge Charger R/T + rt on 7/29/06 from westoaks Dodge in thousand oaks, ca. Starting at around 1500 miles, I noticed a squealing sound from what sounds like the front passenger wheel. This sound seems to happen on a consistent basis when braking lightly. I waited to see if the problem would go away. The problem persisted and so I brought it into westoaks Dodge service department on 10/16/06. After westoaks inspected, they returned the vehicle to me in the same state and told me that the brake noise is normal and they would not service the car unless daimler Chrysler approved. I then submitted my problem to Dodge customer support at www.Dodge.com on 10/17/06 and received the following reply on 10/24/06 (paraphrased): Unfortunately, given the many variables involved, we are unable to diagnose your vehicle's problem via email. We recommend contacting your authorized DaimlerChrysler dealership to arrange an appointment for proper diagnosis and repair. If you have been working with an authorized dealership but the problem is not yet resolved, seeking a second opinion from a different dealer may be a viable option. Senior staff representative Chrysler group customer assistance center reference number: 15560270 email case number: 1546160 basically, to me this sounds like another exercise in futility and to waste time and money bringing my car in to another dealer to hear the same thing. My conversation with the other dealer in my area has not added to my confidence. As a business owner myself, I know that I must stand behind my products or I will not be successful. Consumers are much too sophisticated to be told that a problem is "normal" when they can find many comparable products without this problem. If I told my customers this I would not be successful for very long. Please help me in resolving this matter.
