When in reverse the back brakes squeak. Took the vehicle in and was told that this was normal, I took the car back and was told that when it is cold or hot the brakes would make the loud squeaking sound.

2011 chrysler 200. Consumer writes in regards to brake problems. *smd the consumer stated when he started the engine to pull forward to get gas, the brake pedal went to the floor and the vehicle continued forward, so he pushed the pedal about three more times to the floor while he rolled to the pump bypass lane, turned parallel to the curb which separated the station bypass lane from the us highway and stopped with the emergency brake. As soon as he stopped, he put the transmission into park and then engine stalled. The consumer restarted the engine, and felt the pedal come back up. After testing it several times without further problems. In late november 2012, as the consumer headed out of a parking lot, the pedal went down to the floor twice. He quickly stopped with the emergency brake, leaned to the left of the steering wheel and saw the left end of the pedal protruding from the left side of his right shoe and the pedal was on the floor. Also, the engine had stalled, when he tried to restart the engine, it stalled again. He made another attempt to start it again, at that point the brake pedal went back to normal.

When shifting into reverse or drive it has a hard jolt when going into gear. Sometimes it is so hard that it jerks your body and head/neck, and it sounds like the transmission is going to unbolt from under the car. It does it a couple times a day, and then may stop for a few days but always comes back. I have noticed on the days it is not doing it I average more mpg, and when it is doing it the mpg continuously decreases when it is occuring multiple days in a row. On the days that it is doing it my transmission sounds more whiny than than usual. I have also had issues when putting it into gear, and pushing the gas pedal it tries to stall. It is a problem, and not "just the way those motors are". If it was "just the way the motor" is then it would do it every time you put it in gear, and not come and go and be much worse on some days than others. As time passes the jolting is getting worse and harder. Also, my brakes make an awful squeeking/grinding noise when stopping slowly (stop sign) or backing up. When the car was checked I was told they could not find anything wrong with the car or brakes. This is very agrivating because it was bought brand new, and I am having these issues. I am making payments on a vehicle that is having these types of issues, and I do not feel safe in it. The way the transmissions acts I am afraid of what it may do while driving down the road.
My first problem is an worsening squeaking and grinding in my brakes. I purchased the car in oct 2011 and started having squeaking brakes in march 2012. I have returned my car to the buying dealership three times prior to my 12,000 brake warranty. I was told by a certified chrysler mechanic nothing is wrong with my brakes and they did not hear anything. My brake issue has gotten worse I hear it constantly with any stopping motion. I then took my car to a non certified chrysler mechanic and I was shown my rear brakes are warped. And the brakes are defective. This mechanic did not want to fix the issue he stated return to your dealership because even if we replace the pads the defective parts will cause the problem again. I called the buying dealership that same day and told the person in service center what I was told he guaranteed his technician did their job and refused to look in the system to provide me with exactly what she did since the issue was not fixed. Needless to say that individual is unprofessional and totally disregard my concern. I called chrysler headquaters filed a complaint that same day. A few days later I took it to another chrysler dealership the technician agreed my rotors in the rear where warped and "reglossed them" this did not fix the issue. I returned a few days later telling him the noise never went away. I was told I would have to pay for the new brake pads or to be reglossed. He advised me my pads are placed in a certain position that causes them to make that noise but could not give me a straight answer if this was abnormal or normal. But pretty much deal with it. I have all the paperwork from each dealership and mechanic regardless if the warranty is expired if the brakes are defective they will never work properly. My second concern is my car has stalled three times in the month of june 2012 while driving going less than 20 miles.
