| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front rotor warping and front rotor premature deterioration. i took my 2006 dodge charger daytona in at 600 miles with premature rotor gouging. i was told by keene dodge in jarrestsville md that this was normal. i believed and told them no way it was a normal problem with a vehicle. they took the car back to their service area. after a short visit to the service area i was told by the service writer that nothing was wrong with it. i was not happy, but what is one to do in a situation where one is blown off. i drove the car the way it was and kind of ignored the problem. well it got worse as the miles went by until while braking the car had shaking at highway braking along with pulsating. i took the car to cook motorcars of aberdeen md and at first was told this was a normal situation. i again objected. i made an appointment. my car now had 7900 miles on it. i dropped the car off while i was at work and called around 1pm and was told that the rotors were indeed warped. the service writer told me that they tried to turn the rotors and when they did there was not enough metal left for safe braking. they replaced the rotors, with the same kind that was on the vehicle when i purchased it. i belong to the dodge charger forums and there are 100's of charger owners having the same problems and are being told this is normal. here is a link to my thread on the forums and you can read all the complaints that i have gotten. this needs to be addressed because there are dodge charger owners who are paying for this apparent defect on our cars. http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23835 i want the public to know about this complaint as chrysler needs to address this and address this now. *nm |
