| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 chrysler 300c. while driving approximately 45 mph, the contact heard an extremely loud squealing noise when the brake pedal was depressed. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but no brake failure was identified. recently, the vehicle was taken to the dealer again for the same noise; however, no failure could be found. the contact was very discouraged and embarrassed about the loud, annoying squealing noise. she stated that there was no resolution for the brake noise, which was frustrating and an inconvenience to have to continuously take the vehicle to the dealer. the current mileage was 25,000 and the failure mileage was unknown. | |||

| Within the first 300 miles the inside of all four brake rotors started to show premature scoring and grooves also a grinding noise and brake pedal pulsing would occur when the brakes would be applied. it has gotten a lot worse and there is less then 3,000 miles on the car. in spite of a chrysler service bulletin #05-006-06 titled front and/or rear brake rotors grooved/scored chrysler motors service would not do any thing except turn my rotors on a lathe at a cost to me of $200.00 dollars. i was informed by chrysler motors service that my problem would re-occur in a short period of time and it is a common problem with all chrysler 300c srt-8, dodge charger srt-8 and dodge magnum srt-8 and jeep grand cherokee srt-8. all of these vehicles are equipped with brembo brakes. there is definitely some sort of a defect with this brake system. a search on line shows that there are hundreds of owners of the chrysler 300c srt-8 with the same exact brake problem. *tr | |||
