The contact owns a 2019 Dodge Charger. The contact stated the automatic braking system had been engaging inadvertently while driving with the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for diagnosis; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact also stated that the electrical system had been malfunctioning, causing the instrument panel to become inoperable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.

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.

I took my car to get a oil change at the Dodge dealership. When it was returned to me I notice that when I turn my wheel all the way to a certain side it makes a loud rubbing noise. They rotated my tires and changed my fluids so I believe it would eventually go away. It hasn't

The rear brake pads do not sweep the entire surface of the rear rotors. Nearly 25% of the rear rotor is not in contact with the rear brake pads. This diminishes braking force and makes the rear rotor incompatible with currently available replacement pads. This defect is visually apparent when the car is stationary. It also impacts the vehicles ability to come to a stop while in motion. I suspect that the wrong parts were installed by the manufacturer or there is a manufacturing defect present.

The rear brake pads do not fit correctly, they are undersized. There is a large portion of the rear rotor that is not in contact with the pad. This is causing damage and premature wear to the brake rotors.

I have the 2019 Dodge scat pack, base model, no options. It comes with the 4-piston brembo calipers on the rear wheels. The factory brake pad only contacts a little over half of the rotor. This is on both rear wheels, inside and outside surface. This easily reduces braking force by half; much more when the car is fully loaded. The pads do not look damaged, just an obvious defect (see pictures compared to replacement pad). Other Dodge scat packs report similar defects. I contacted brembo back in December, and after multiple contacts, nothing to this day (even though initially they said they'd contact me back in a few days since this looked unusual). I contacted fca, and they had no clue about this, so I visited my local palmen Dodge, racine, wi. The parts manager said he'd never seen this before either. When we looked up replacement pads, they were "normal" looking, like the one next to the stock pad that came with the car. Unfortunately, this is wearing a wide groove in the rotor, which will then have to be replaced. The dealer confirmed that I'd have to buy it myself since wear items are not covered. I have changed this pad type many times, since 2009, and have never seen a pad cut back like this. I am worried that if I have to stop quickly, I will not get full braking in the rear since the pads are only covering part of it. Secondly, I will have to buy two new rear rotors, and pads, to get the full stopping power that the manufacturer intended.

While driving the parking brake engaged itself. There was no light on instrument cluster. An the parking brake had to be engaged an disengaged to continue driving. Speeds were slow. City road. Possibly dangerous if at a faster speed.
