In the last year I have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time. At certain speeds my vehicle will vibrate. Going over speed bumps or into even the slightest pot hole the vehicle will vibrate. When slowing down or coming to a stop the front end will vibrate. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they advised my front tires needed to be changed and/or rotated to the back due to an unusual wearing on the tires. The wear was on the outside of the tires.the gear shifter was in park position and there it stayed was unable to shift gear to anything and had to take the console around the lever apart to shift gears. And the brakes squeak all the time even after having them replaced and the rotors replaced as well as the struts. When the car is sitting in idle, the lights dims as though there is a shortage in the electrical system. I let my 17yr old daughter drive my car to school and when she got to a red light the engine shut off. This is dangerous, so I don't let her drive the car anymore. My seatbelt light stays on & beeps when the seatbelt is connected. These are all safety issues & chrysler should be held accountable. These issues needs to be addressed.

The gear shifter was in park position and there it stayed was unable to shift gear to anything and had to take the console around the lever apart to shift gears. And the brakes squeak all the time even after having them replaced and the rotors replaced as well as the struts. Chrysler they say car is not part of the ones that they will fix the shifter on. Am mad enough over a 69 cent pink plastic part to want to stick this car up [xxx] in customer cares rear. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Disk brake noise. I have had this car since it was new, and have had frequent problems with the brakes, mostly inb the front axel. The dealer replaced the front rotors and pads at least 2 times I believe, and recently a few months ago, I changed the front pads again to try to get rid of the squealing noise. I have purchased oem brakes and rotors from the dealer, and last time I replaced them, I used a brand from a local auto parts store. It seems that I the brakes stay quiet for a little while after they have been cleaned and services, but soon start returning to making a horrible squealing noise anytime the brakes are used. After several trips for this at two different dealers, and reading up on the manufactures web forums, it looks like this has been happening to a lot more people than just me. I feel there must be a design or manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed to correct this type of chronic problem.

Dodge charger. Rotor/brake trouble. Squeaking during 5-15mph, and violent vehicle shaking when stopping during 30+MPH.

Brakes have locked up x3. Vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle. Had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong. Repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low MPH during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! Vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in parking lot when accelerator pedal is not even pressed. I am very afraid to drive this car especially w/my child. This is my only vehicle and as a single mother and educator -safety, security, and reliability is important.

At 12,500 miles took vehicle to dodge dealer complaining of the front brakes squealing. They told me the rotors were warped, probably from going though a puddle when they were hot, which I had not done. I had to pay to have the rotors turned. Still squealed. Ended up having to buy new rotors and pads for front. Now, the rear squeal so bad I am embarrassed to drive it. Will end up having to replace the rear brakes.

I purchased a 2006 dodge charger brand new in march 2006. Ever since then there has been problems. I have taken the car to the local dodge dealership where the car was purchased. I had been experiencing problems with the brakes not stopping and squeaking and the fact that I could be accelerating up to about 20-30mph and the car would not go any further. The car is showing signs of transmission problems. These problems lead me to the dealership which was where the car was purchased. The service department said I needed brake pads and nothing else was wrong, which I got brake pads from a different business. The car still continues to do the same thing with the problems with the transmission and the brakes. I see there was no results with going to the dealer so I contacted the corporate chrysler customer assistance # and they advised me to take the car back for a diagnosis, I advised them that I previously done that and there was nothing found. They told me there was nothing they could do because the dealer would need to recognize the problem.

Repeated warping and squealing coming from brakes. Dealership turns the rotors to "fix" the issue till it is out of original 12,000 mile warranty for brakes. They will then no longer correct the issue without payment. There is no permanent fix.
