The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler 300. While braking from 2 mph, the brakes failed. The contact found the brake pads had separated from the rotors. In addition, he found that the passengers side outer tie rod was also defective. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor was the manufacturer contacted. The failure mileage was 39,100 and the current mileage was 46,724.
Brake rotors became warped about 17000 miles then got worse and worse. I replaced the tires at about 30,000 and had the pads checked. The pads were ceramic type and had zero wear. The rotors are a problem. My 05 Dodge 4x4 has the same problem and it only has 23000 miles. Chrysler is buying bad rotors!!!!!!.
Bought Chrysler 300 srt8 late August 2005. Complained about brake squeal and dust/excessive brake dust. Took car in for warranty service with 17,000 miles. Only to be advised that there was a technical service bulletin issued, but if car not brought in before 12,000 miles/12 months the repair will be approx. $865 for brake pads and resurfacing rotors. I am unable to find tech bulletin referred to.
