Since purchasing the vehicle approximately 2 years ago, the brake pads and rotors have not been effective. The brakes were replaced 2 times within the first 15,000 driven. When trying to administer the brakes whether it be a lighted intersection or slowing down for traffic ahead, it is very difficult to stop the car no matter how far early the brakes are applied. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Within the first month of ownership, the driver side window sounded as though it were cracked open slightly, yet the windows were fully closed. The first time the car was dropped off for service, the weatherstripping was replaced. This helped very little. The car was brought back to the dealer, when they finally found that there was a screw inthe door that was broken and needed replacing. This caused the window not to fully close. Since I have owned the car, it has been back to the dealer for service over 10 times (not including regualr maintenance - oil changes, etc). I understand that brakes are part of regular maintenance of any vehicle, but I believe that there is a defect with the brake system on this particular vehicle. I also own a GM vehicle, but my brake pads last for at least 20,000 miles.

I have had brake and rotor problems when the car reached 14,000 miles, I then replaced the brakes, I have been experiencing severe pulsation when the brakes are applied, I replaced the front rotors at 28,000 miles, (at my expense) now the back rotors have begun the severe pulsation and will have to replace those rotors as well( at my expense). Since the warranty does not cover this. I used the emgergency brake once and couldn't disengage the brake and my car was stranded. I also experienced the emergency brakes freezing up which the dealership replaced under warranty. I was complaining to the dealership about smoke coming from the tire well from the drivers side back tire. On March 8, April 5th they resurfaced the back rotors, and told me if I continue to experience the severe pulsation the back rotors will need replaced. I have never encountered problems like this ever, I always purchase new cars for their warranty and Dodge's warranty is not up my standards.

Transmission would be sluggish when gas pedal is pressed. There are no leaks. Fails to change gears properly. Took to dealer & had diagnostic check, with dye, done. No problem found. Mechanic replaced transmission. Also had brake disc replaced due to excessive wear.
