2010 Dodge Challenger: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Feb 23, 2025 · Engine · CA

Was driving and a tick was present then over heated sat on side of road until cooled down added coolant drove home . The next day car was drivable. Drove to school and car was sounding funny so took it to a repair shop and they told me the particular engine in the vehicle has a fuel efficient component where it shuts down the cylinders on the freeway, and the lifters are supposed to open, but our lifter did not open. It got stuck and grind the camshaft in the motor. Needless to say I had to have the car towed home. It’s just sitting in my parking lot. I tried calling Dodge. They wouldn’t help me. I tried calling multiple agencies to help. I looked up on the Internet and there is multiple complaints about the same problem it’s called the hemi lift so hopefully one day this can be recalled because I’m still paying on the car. I had a year and a half. No one will help me. My kids were driving the car. What if the thing blew up on them on the freeway and somebody hit them because Car wouldn’t move anymore . Or if they were taking the car through the desert and there is no phone calls and no one around. If they were going around corners of a mountain and just stopped on them or blew up because can’t drive the car anymore. very bad and scary and sad that the builder of that motor won’t fix their mistake and leave countless people stranded and in a predicament

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge challenger. While driving at approximately 20 MPH attempting to engage the brakes, the vehicle made a grinding sound and failed to stop. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle and the air bag failed to deploy. A police report was filed and the contact sustained unknown injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to a body shop, where it was determined that there was no brake fluid in the reservoir causing the brakes to seize. The vehicle was repaired. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v444000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified about the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

I purchased a new 2010 dodge challenger in january 2010. The ceramic brakes began squeaking in april 2010. It occurs after the vehicle has been driven approximately 3 to 5 minutes and the brakes have "heated" up. I have taken the vehicle to 3 different places over 6 visits and during each oil change and the same results are: your brakes are good, no replacement needed, we removed some dust (in 2 cases, the removed some type of fluid) and your brakes are fine. No one would replace them while they were under the 12k mile warranty and now, I currently sit at 15k -- with these annoying, high pitched, squeally brakes. Please look into other complaints from people with challengers (2010) and brake problems. Thank you.
