ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THE CAR SIMPLY DIED WHILE IN DRIVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE I GOT IT RE-STARTED, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SINCE THEN. *AK

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

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 15,500. WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH OR HIGHER THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS REASON; HOWEVER THE DEALER HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO GUESS THE FAILURE MILEAGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
I BOUGHT A DODGE CHARGER IN JUNE 2006 AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN SEPTEMBER. IT STARTED AS A VIBRATION WHICH NOBODY COULD IDENTIFY. I PAID TO HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED BECAUSE DODGE WOULD NOT COVER IT. THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW SITTING AT 16,000 MILES AND WARPED ROTORS WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY SAY I AM OVER THE 12,000 MILE BRAKE WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROTORS MYSELF. AS A COMPARISON I ALSO HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE. I PUT THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS ON THAT AT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT DODGE WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED! THANK YOU *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
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 COVER ANY COST OF RESURFACING THE ROTORS. MECHANIC AT THE DEALER SAID DODGE OWNERS WERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES ON 2006 CHARGERS. *TR

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

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA, FRONT BRAKES STARTED RUBBING AT ABOUT 8000 MILES, WAS TOLD THATS NORMAL. BRAKE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO 22,000 MILES AND NOW THE ROTORS ARE BADLY GROOVED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS FRONT BRAKE PADS. WARRANTY PERIOD FOR BRAKES IS 12,000 MILES (I FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS A WEAR PART). DEALERSHIP HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AVAILABLE, HOWEVER THE BRAKES ARE PAST THEIR WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WHIL WITHIN WARRANTY AND WAS NOT REPAIRED, AND NOW THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE ROTORS ARE REPLACED/TURNED AND BRAKE PADS REPLACED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY INTO A DITCH, CAUSING $1500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE HAND BRAKE WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. ON EACH OCCASION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE GROUND WAS WET FROM MELTING SNOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 21,155 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
