Description of the problem | On june 24, 2005, i purchased a new 2006 chrysler 300c srt8. I currently have 1972 miles on my vehicle. I have been having a problem with the braking performance of my vehicle that has not been resolved after several repair attempts. The vehicle was purchased for the purpose of enjoyment and my expectations are not being met. Upon application of the brakes, my vehicle makes a very loud squeaking sound that lessens the value of the vehicle and the implied comfort that a reasonable person should expect from his/her vehicle. In accordance with my service manual, on numerous occasions, i have promptly taken the vehicle to the local chrysler service department and requested that the situation be corrected. My requests for correction have not been met. The service dealer has informed me that they are aware of the problem but have not done anything to correct it. They have stated that the rotors may be too small and need to be changed. *nm |
