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.
2006 Dodge Charger brakes complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 124, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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.
Warped front rotors after buying car and personally placing less than 2,000 miles on it.
Noisy brakes that dealership has not replaced or fixed.
Brake rotors are glazed and brakes squealed after about 11,000 miles, pad thickness 65% remaining. Braking distances are dramtically increased as a result of the glazed rotors.
Brakes squeeling at low speeds.
I own a 2006 charger r/t. Purchased on 12/26/2007. I currently have 3200 miles on the car and for the last 500 miles the front driver's side rotors were squealing. Seeing that there were so many owners with the same issue I will be calling the dealer in the morning to schedule this to be resolved.
On the freeway, had to brake suddenly and now there is a constant vibration at all speeds when brakes are supplied and take longer to react...squeak.
Brakes squeal when pressure is first applied to pedal. Off and on since I bought the car last year. Called dealership and was told that this was common and that some cars do this all the time, it's normal.
Braking system is squealing under normal use, and warped rotors are noticeable during all braking conditions.
My brakes on my 2006 dodge charger have been defective for some time, warped rotors, screeching sound when brakes are applied. If no help is found here im going take this matter to the bbb.
Rotors are grooving.
Front brakes whistling when brakes are applied.
Brakes are shuttering when coming to a stop. Brake rotors and pads where getting worn down and squealing before the one year/12k miles and dealer would not fix.
1. In october only 5 months after buying my '06 charger I noticed a lot of noice coming from the brakes. 2. In november I took it in to the dealer and they said everything was fine that it mainly should happen when it gets colder. 3. I took it in last week in march and told them that it has been 75 degrees and up and that they still make noice at any speed. They said that there is nothing wrong with my brakes. After looking at other similar cases I am now assured that this is a big problem with other vehicles like mine and that they need to fixed!!
Me myself had problems out of my front rotors I had a lot of vibration in my steering wheel when I went to brake and had to switch to high performance drilled slotted rotors.
Squeaky brakes, transmission not shifting properly.
After purchasing my 2006 dodge charger in april of 2006 I immediately had a problem with a squeaking from the front brakes. When taking the car in for service I was repeatedly told it was brake dust and it would go away when washing. The noise has never gone away and has continued to get worse now that I have over 20,000 miles on them.
Took my srt 8 06 charger to the dealer 3-1-07 because brake rotors had grooves and pads were prematurely worn at 19,000 miles on all 4 wheels. District manager refused to offer a replacement at no cost. Dodge knows that this problem exists and there needs to be a recall.. Many complaints on the dodge forum too regarding this.
Brakes squeak at low speeds.
Brakes squeal after warming up under light to moderate braking.
I purchased a 2006 dodge charger in august of 2006. The first couple thousand miles I would hear my front brakes grinding, thinking it would go away I kept driving the vehicle. The grinding noise from my brakes continued to get worse so I took my vehicle to the dealership with 8000 miles on it. The dodge dealership told me the noise was normal but they would lube and clean the pads. That didn't help at all so I took my vehicle back to the dealership a week later in which they still told me the grinding noise is normal and there are no safety problems with the brakes. I know have under 10,000 miles on my charger and the grinding noise is getting worse. I'm very concerned about my families safety in the vehicle ,I know the noise is not normal and I believe the dealership knows that too.
Intermittent brake squeal on 2006 dodge charger vehicles.
I was driving my car and the brakes have had a slight noise to them. Not so much a squeak. Now today while driving I pushed my brakes pedal down and it pushed back. I asked a mechanic at my job. I work for fedex and he told me that the rotors needed to be turned.
The failure with my vehicle is that the brakes squeal/screech every time I brake between 0-50 miles per hour. My car only has 11,000 miles and it is not supposed to be doing this. This is ruining my brake rotor. I took it to the dealer twice and both of the times they said it could not be duplicated. That was no help at all because I still have the problem.
Brakes squeal at all speeds when applied. Pulsating or shaking when decelerating from high speeds. Has been happening for many miles and has been brought to dealer with same story: brakes are metallic and will squeak from time to time.
Brakes fade rapidly and braking power is decreased and becomes dangerous even at low speeds.

Brake caliper makes noises when car is driving slow.
