I OWN A 2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA R/T. SHE IS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE AND ONLY HAS 5200 MILES. THE BRAKES HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO DEVELOP A SQUEAL AT LOW SPEEDS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHER 2006+ CHARGERS ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE.*JB UPDATED 01-16-08. *KB
BRAKES SQUEAK AT LOW SPEEDS, IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. *TR
THE BRAKES ON MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T HAVE BEEN SQUEALING FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO SQUEAL. I HAVE TAKEN MY DODGE CHARGER TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND I HAVE PAID FOR MY BRAKE ROTORS TO BE RESURFACED. I HAVE MORE THAN 60% OF BRAKE PAD LIFE LEFT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND A NEED FOR A RECALL IS NECESSARY. PLEASE HELP. *TR
BAD BRAKES. *TR
BRAKES ARE SQUEALING WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE PRESSURE. STILL HAS SIGNIFICANT PAD MATERIAL REMAINING. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. MANY CHARGER RT OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE STALLING BUT NOT SHUTTING OFF TOOK TO DEALER ON 7/25/07 THE CHANGED A BRAKE TOGGLE SWITCH STALL HAPPEN AGAIN TODAY 7/26/07 @ 8PM. *TR
I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN I NOTICED A CAR COMING UP FROM BEHIND ME. TO AVOID GETTING HIT I ATTEMPTED TO THROTTLE DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS A CAR IN THE SLOW LANE AND GET IN FRONT OF HIM TO AVOID THE SPEEDER COMING UP BEHIND ME. IN DOING SO I HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND. I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE(SLOW LANE) AND PULL INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND TO MY AMAZEMENT SAW MY ENTIRE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY LYING ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. I WAS ALSO AMAZED TO SEE THAT THE ENTIRE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE GAS PEDAL IS MADE OF EITHER A PLASTIC OR RESIN COMPOUND AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL SO IS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A STRONG ENOUGH MATERIAL TO BE USED ON SUCH CRUCIAL PARTS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY DEALER AND THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART. I WILL BE ASKING FOR THE OLD PART BACK. *TR
BRAKE PROBLEMS
THE 20'06 DODGE CHARGER HAD LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT, AND WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE 5 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLED. MOMENTARILY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND THEN IT RESUMED POWER. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT ON THE PAPER WORK IT STATED THAT THE CAUSE WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE , 108 INSPECT AND FLASH PCM TO LATEST SOFTWARE VERSION. I TOOK IT HOME, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 MORE TIMES , 3 TIMES IN ONE AFTERNOON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL THE THEY COULD. WE HAVE REFRAIMED FROM DRIVING THE 1994 VEHICLE BECAUSE WE NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING IT. *AK
HAD BRAKE TSB DONE IN SEPT. 06. MAYBE 3000 MILES ON CAR. DROVE MY CAR ON 7/12/07 AND HEARD SCREECHING FROM LEFT REAR BRAKE. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO CONNEL IN OAKLAND, CA. I GOT A CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATING THAT ALL OF MY ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR HAS 12,500 MILES ON IT. I'VE OWNED A 2004 HONDA ELEMENT AND STILL HASN'T REQUIRED BRAKE SERVICE. HOW DO REAR PADS WERA BEFORE FRONT PADS ON ANY VEHICLE? I HAD AN OIL CHANGE IN JUNE AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF BRAKE PROBLEM.
THE POWER STEERING RACK INTHE 2006 DODGE CHARGERWAS MAKING A WHINNING NOISE AND WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. BROUGHT IT IN TO THE CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND WAS EXPECTED TO PAY $1200 TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK. THISWAS ABSURD, THE CARS' WARRANT YWAS 36000 MILES, MY CAR IS AT 39,000 MILES. THIS WAS UNFAIR, AND AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE 2.7 LITRE ENGINE EXPIERENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM HAVE EVEN RESULTED IN DEATH. I'M VERY UPSET.*AK
NO SIGNAL AVAILABLE FOR SIRIUS SAT RADIO. CALL SIRIUS AND THEY CONFIRMED MY RADIO WAS ACTIVE BUT WAS NOT PICKING UP A SIGNAL. TOOK IT TO DODGE WHERE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE SAT ANTENNA. 3-4 DAY DELIVERY TIME. *TR
BRAKE LIGHTS FIRST WENT OUT ON 09/08/2006 UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON OUR 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T. DEALERSHIP HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM ON FOUR SEPARATE TIMES. ON 06/03/2007 BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN AND DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE GOT HOME WITH THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALREADY OUT AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING DODGE/DAIMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP IN AND REPLACE THE CAR. AS OF 07/10/2007 OUR DODGE CHARGER R/T SITS IN OUR DRIVEWAY UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHILE WE GET THE RUN AROUND FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND FROM DODGE/DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS; BLOWN FUSE, KINK IN THE WIRING, BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH MODULE, RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND 3RD BRAKE LIGHT WAS ARCHING. THE REPAIRED OR REPLACED PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR
I OWN A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T THAT HAS A RECURRING BRAKE PROBLEM. THERE IS A NOTICEABLY LOUD SOUND COMING FROM AT LEAST 2 AND POSSIBLY ALL 4 WHEEL WELLS. WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED I HAVE INTERMITTENT SLIPPAGE BEFORE THE CAR SETTLES. AND FINALLY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE I RECEIVE OCCASIONAL SHUDDERING IN THE CAR. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THREE SEPARATE DODGE DEALERSHIPS IN THE DALLAS TEXAS AREA ON SEVEN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND ON SIX OF THOSE TRIPS WAS INFORMED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. ON MY FIFTH SERVICE TRIP A BRAKE JOB WAS PERFORMED, BUT HAS HAD NO EFFECT IN FIXING THE PROBLEM. ON THE SUBSEQUENT TWO TRIPS I WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AT THE 11,000 MILE MARK AND HAS BEEN DETERIORATING SINCE THEN (CURRENTLY AT 27,000 MILES). IF NOTHING IS DONE SOON, I FEEL THAT I WILL NEED TO UNNECESSARILY AND UNJUSTLY PURCHASE AN ENTIRELY NEW BRAKE SYSTEM FOR MY CAR TO ENSURE MY DRIVING SAFETY. *AK
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO STOP WITHIN EXPECT PARAMETERS. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 27,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.
THE ABS LIGHTS AND ESP LIGHTS ALONG WITH THE TRACTION LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD, AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PRESSING THE BRAKES, IT DIDN'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS EXCORTING MY 10 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL. *AK
THE FRONT ROTORS ON THE 5.7 2006 CHARGER NEED TURNING. THEY HAVE BEEN SQUEAKING FOR SOME TIME, AND I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE. NOW, I AM BEING TOLD THEY NEED TURNING AT MY EXPENSE. THE CAR WILL BE A YEAR OLD TOMORROW. *AK

WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE SKIDS AND PULLS TO LEFT OR RIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS.INFORMED DEALER AND DODGE OF ISSUES. HAS NOT CORRECTED ISSUES AS OF YET. 1ST THE DEALER TURNED THE ROTORS LEFT THE OLD PADS THEN WITH IN 3K MILES THE Y REPLACED THE ROTORS AND LEFT THE OLD PADS AND WITH IN THE SAME 3K MILES THEY MACHINED THE ROTORS WHILE ONTO HE CAR AND THEN REPLACED THE ROTORS WITH " POLICE ISSUE" BRAKES FOR MY VEHICLE. I FEEL ALL OF THIS AND MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THE MANUFACTURES AND SHOULD GIVE ME FREE BRAKE SERVICE FOR THE LIFE THE CAR APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS MANUFACTURER BRAKE ISSUES. *TR
DODGE CAVALIER HAD A FAULTY SHIFTER AND DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. HAD IT FIXED , AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS OF PICK UP THE VEHICLE. MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL FIX IT, BUT IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. *AK
WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THE CAR SIMPLY DIED WHILE IN DRIVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE I GOT IT RE-STARTED, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SINCE THEN. *AK
FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE ROTOR IS GROOVED. BREAKS SQUEAL. CAR ONLY HAS 12000 MILES. YET BRAKES THAT ARE TO LAST 50-10000 MILES ARE ALREADY IN DANGER OF PREMATURE FAILURE. ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER. A TSB IDENTIFIED IT AS A DEFECT AND NOT A RECALL. *AK
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 15,500. WHEN DRIVING 60 MPH OR HIGHER THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS REASON; HOWEVER THE DEALER HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO GUESS THE FAILURE MILEAGE.
I BOUGHT A DODGE CHARGER IN JUNE 2006 AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES IN SEPTEMBER. IT STARTED AS A VIBRATION WHICH NOBODY COULD IDENTIFY. I PAID TO HAVE THE TIRES BALANCED BECAUSE DODGE WOULD NOT COVER IT. THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW SITTING AT 16,000 MILES AND WARPED ROTORS WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY SAY I AM OVER THE 12,000 MILE BRAKE WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE ROTORS MYSELF. AS A COMPARISON I ALSO HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE. I PUT THE FIRST SET OF ROTORS ON THAT AT 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT DODGE WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED! THANK YOU *TR
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. *TR
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. *TR

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.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY ROLLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY INTO A DITCH, CAUSING $1500 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE HAND BRAKE WAS APPLIED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. ON EACH OCCASION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE GROUND WAS WET FROM MELTING SNOW AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 21,155 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
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.

INFORMED OUR DEALER THAT THE LEFT-REAR SEATBELT WAS BACKWARDS. A PASSENGER HAD A HARD TIME HOOKING THE SEATBELT. THE DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT SEATBELT AND INSTALLED IT. THIS SEATBELT WAS MANUFACTURED BACKWARDS TOO. CHECKED ALL CHARGERS AND MAGNUMS ON THE LOT AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL LEFT-REAR SEATBELTS ARE BACKWARDS. ALSO CHECKED ANOTHER DEALERS STOCK WITH THE SAME RESULTS. OUR DEALER SAID THAT THEY WOULD INFORM CHRYSLER. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED WITH A RECALL.
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. *JB
SQUEAKY BRAKES, TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. *JB
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. *JB
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. *JB
BRAKES SQUEAK AT LOW SPEEDS. *JB
BRAKES SQUEAL AFTER WARMING UP UNDER LIGHT TO MODERATE BRAKING. *NM
WELL YESTERDAY EVENING. I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE CAR WAS JUST REVVING WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. IF THERE WERE ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC I COULD OFF GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR HARD, DEFINITELY DON'T RACE. WHY WOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN LIKE THIS? IT IS PRETTY MUCH A BRAND NEW CAR WHICH I KEEP UP THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL ON THIS EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I'VE READ A FEW DIFFERENT FORUMS ON THIS VEHICLE AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR OR HESITATING TO GO INTO GEAR. SO THIS ISN'T JUST A ONE TIME THING. I LOST SOME OF THE PRIDE IN HAVING THIS CERTAIN VEHICLE. FROM MY KNOWLEDGE THE SAME TRANSMISSION WERE OFFERED IN THE OLDER E CLASS MERCEDES BENZ AND THEY TOO HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM. *NM
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
