Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed within months of owning the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times and the instrument panel warning indicators and gauges flickered. When there was a loss of power, the doors would automatically lock and were unable to open. In addition ,the brakes failed to function properly when applied. An unknown dealer replaced the brakes and the pinion pins twice due to the wheels on the driver's side being affected due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if there was an option to trade in or buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.

Has anyone else had issues with their brakes seeming to lock up and airbag light in dash coming on after r25 recall repair???? Dealer refuses to address these problems without me paying for diagnositics to be run first & I don't have $100+ to pay out of pocket. These issues started the day I drove it home after getting the recall repaired.... .. Help?!?!! I paid for new brakes bc I figured it could be strictly coincidence, but the light & beeping too?!? No way!!!!
