Description of the problem | I have a 2010 dodge challenger r/t with a serious brake defect at only 15,000 miles. I am one of many who have had to replace the front rotors on my vehicle due to severe warpage. I was aware of this problem from other owners and i've done my best to "baby" the brakes to avoid this problem from happening, yet it happened anyway. In my opinion, it is obvious that the front brake rotors provided on this car are inferior and not capable of stopping the car under normal driving conditions for an extended period of time (past the 12,000 mile warranty coverage). As a result, my car is unsafe to drive due to the uncontrollable vibrations at highway speeds and extensive time/distance needed to stop the vehicle. This seems not to be the case with the srt model which uses thicker rotors. I implore your organization investigate this serious safety defect in the se and r/t dodge challenger models asap. Thank you very much. |
