problem #1

Dec 152005

300C 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 300 miles
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 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.
