I rear ended another vehicle because my brakes failed. I had both feet pushing on the brake pedal and my brakes failed to stop my vehicle. They did not lock up or anything I rolled right into another vehicle. I see a lot of Chargers that are crashed in the front just like mine. I really think these brake should be looked into or issue a recall.

I purchased a new 2019 Dodge Charger scatpack. It was purchased as a leisure car for weekend use. I've had the vehicle for a year and a half and has 13000 miles. The vehicle began to shimmy from the front brakes. The front vibration began very light but has continued to increase. At first I believe that it was probably caused by the fact that it was not driven to often and there was probably a rust buildup of some kind. However, in researching the internet it appears to be a common problem with this vehicle. The dealership labeled the problem as a wear and tear issue and for that reason it would be my responsibility to fix it. I strongly believe that this is a poor designed problem that the manufacturer is refusing to recognize. I've owned many cars in my 58 year's of life and I know that a break issue unfortunately takes loss of life before it's addressed by the authorities and or manufacturer's. I'm hoping that these issue is addressed as I've found throughout my research that it's a common problem with this vehicle and it comes with other problems like brake failure also. The brakes are manufactured by brembo brake who has also refused to acknowledge a posible problem with the brakes.

My brakes are failing sometimes the pedal goes down to the bottom and loses the brake and when I turn off the car and pump the pedal it works again.
Brakes have failed into abs mode twice while braking on dry roadway conditions from speeds of 30 to 45 miles per hour in a manner not typically experienced with the vehicle. The style of braking performed into the switch to abs mode was smooth steady pressure. I have owned the vehicle for ten years and have not experienced an issue such as this before. Took the vehicle to my local Dodge dealership to get inspected and inspection came back with no error codes or apparent mechanical problems according to dealership personnel.
